The Freep reports on a UM engineering program that partners with GM to keep promising graduates in Michigan. The program focuses on developing a battery for the Chevrolet Volt electric car. UM prof Ann Marie Sastry says: “This is a revolution. We’re just at the beginning of possibly electrifying the vehicle drivetrain. … The good people want to work on the good problems, the problems that feel uncomfortable and hard. This is a way to keep our best and brightest here in Michigan.” [Source]
