Vanessa Decker always had a passion for food, so the 2012 chemical engineering alumna knew it had to be a part of her career. “I think that baking and chemistry kind of went hand in hand for me. So, as I explored different career paths, engineering just made sense.”

The Michigan State University College of Engineering was recently featured on the Global Auto Mobility “Engineering Careers Tour” podcast. The panel included Josh Siegel, assistant professor of computer science and engineering, and electrical and computer engineering; Garth Motschenbacher, director of employer relations; and Tamara Reid Bush, associate dean for inclusion and diversity and professor of mechanical engineering.

The College of Engineering at Michigan State University is a top producer of practice-ready talent for Michigan and beyond due in large part to a deeply rooted commitment to collaborating with industry and government.

The nation’s largest-ever campaign to promote careers and recruit talent to fill jobs in Michigan’s surging electric vehicle (EV) and transportation mobility sector will include at least 12 Spartans who are on track for up to $10,000 scholarships while working at EV-related companies in Metro Detroit, Lansing, Jackson, and Saginaw.

MSU researchers have created for the first time a miniature human heart model in the laboratory, complete with all primary heart cell types and a functioning structure of chambers and vascular tissue. "These minihearts constitute incredibly powerful models in which to study all kinds of cardiac disorders with a degree of precision unseen before," said Aitor Aguirre, the study's senior author and assistant professor of biomedical engineering.

The celebration may be remote, but the top faculty and staff awards in the MSU College of Engineering in 2020 stand as a testament to excellence and distinguished contributions even in the age of the novel coronavirus.

Research led by MSU is showing ways that hackers can use ultrasonic waves to secretly control voice assistant devices. Called "SurfingAttack" the attack leverages the unique properties of acoustic transmission in solid materials — such as tables — to "enable multiple rounds of interactions between the voice-controlled device and the attacker."

A first-time event at Michigan State University puts a special focus on hiring opportunities at Michigan companies during this year's celebration of National Engineers Week, Feb. 16-23.

Engineers invent things that amaze. From Feb. 16-24, Michigan State University will join with peers around the country for the National Engineers Week celebration of "Invent Amazing."

Engineers have been working for years to develop a more convenient way to monitor blood pressure. Now, researchers at MSU and the University of Maryland appear to have succeeded. Research led by senior author Ramakrishna Mukkamala, professor of electrical and computer engineering, has devised a smart way to detect hypertension sooner with a new blood pressure app. Anand Chandrasekhar, electrical and computer engineering doctoral student, is the lead author.

Jiayu Zhou, assistant professor of computer science and engineering, will use a $551,600 NSF CAREER Award to research large-scale machine learning on big data. He is the 14th Spartan Engineer to be awarded the prestigious recognition since 2010.

In honor of National Engineers Week, Michigan State University will celebrate the contributions of engineering by providing students with dynamic career networking opportunities, while introducing young people to the potential of engineering as a career. EWeek at MSU runs from Feb. 18-25, 2018.

As the country heads into the holiday season, Michigan State University's Center for Spartan Engineering got a head start on the festivities with a recent reunion that was full of laughter, warm remembrances and, of course, amazing food.
