Mentor a Faculty Research Team

Engage Students in Faculty Research with Free MDP Support
The Multidisciplinary Design Program’s Faculty Research Project Teams unite undergraduate and master’s level engaged learning with faculty research. Using MDP’s team formation support, recruiting and infrastructure frees faculty to focus more on the direction of the research than the project-level, day-to-day delivery.
To learn more, please contact the MDP Progam Manager Ellen Solomon, Ph.D., P.E., at esitz@umich.edu to discuss.
