consistently maintain its spot in
the top 10?

Many aspects of College of

Engineering’s success

Engineering
Dean
David

Munson said there are many
aspects
of
the
College
of

Engineering that allow it to
maintain
its
rankings
and

consistently receive funding year
after year.

“We have grown a little bit

each year in my time as dean,”
Munson said. “We’ve hired really
exceptional faculty members and,
especially during the time of the
recession and those surrounding
years, when other universities
didn’t have the resources to hire
very many, if any, new faculty
members in engineering, we
hired basically as many top-notch
people as we could find, and we
really have an exceptional junior
faculty that goes along with a
really fine senior faculty.”

However,
a
high-quality

faculty is just one facet of the
college’s success, Munson said.
Since he moved to Ann Arbor in
2003, Munson has helped put
many strategies into place to
ensure students were receiving
a
top-notch
engineering

education, including improving
the undergraduate experience
through
co-curricular
and

outside classroom experiences,
such
as
the
Center
for

Entrepreneurship,
which

encourages
entrepreneurship

among engineers, and expanded
international programs.

“We’re working to get as many

of our undergrads as possible to
spend time overseas — whether
it is in the form of a summer job,
summer internship overseas or
taking courses at a university
or doing research overseas or
perhaps
offering
volunteer

service overseas,” Munson said.
“We’ve tremendously ramped up
the percentage of our students
who
are
involved
in
those

activities.”

Additionally,
the

Multidisciplinary
Design

Program
—
which
involves

students in large projects that are
significant to modern industry
and technological advances —
has played a role in improving the
College of Engineering alongside
efforts to integrate engineering
with the arts-related units on
North Campus, like those in
the School of Music, Theatre

& Dance. Various programs, a
minor track offering courses
outside
engineering
and
the

recently
implemented
Living

Arts section of the Bursley dorm
— a learning community which
brings together students from the
different North Campus schools
— are just some of the strategies
to encourage creativity within
the college.

Similarly,
Munson
said

increased collaboration with the
Ross Business School has allowed
the college’s entrepreneurship
program to expand each year.
Jointly with the University’s
Office of Technology Transfer,
faculty and students can file
for
patents,
launch
start-up

companies and expand their
research
through
a
business

perspective.

Aside from goals aimed at

improving
the
undergraduate

experience, Munson said research
takes up a substantial part of
the College of Engineering’s
goals,
with
annual
research

expenditures reaching more than
$225 million a year.

Munson said the College of

Engineering frequently partners
with the Medical School.

“Between
Engineering
and

Medicine, we are one of only
two universities in the nation
that
have
both
top-ranked

engineering and medical schools
on the same campus, and so that
conditions us in this great way to
work so intensely with medicine,”
Munson said.

The College of Engineering

also
partners
with
certain

departments in LSA, such as the
natural sciences and mathematics
departments, as well as the School
of Public Health, which make the
undergraduate experience in the
college unique.

“I think the undergraduate

program
we
offer
really
is

noticeably
different
and

better compared to most other
universities,” Munson said.

Ultimately,
Munson
credits

much of the success of the college
to multiple goals he and other
administrators have set in place,
including searching for the best
faculty, staff and students —
which has become much more
competitive over the years.

“Our student selectivity has

just tremendously improved in
the last 10 years,” Munson said.
“It’s much, much harder to gain
entrance in engineering than it
was 10 years ago.”
