GM is joining with the University of Michigan to create a new automotive advanced battery lab in Ann Arbor, Mich., and a specialized curriculum within U-M's College of Engineering to develop automotive battery engineers. Building on U-M’s leadership role in energy issues and innovative environmental applications, this new program will prepare engineers to creatively meet the needs of developed and developing economies by adapting the fundamentals of civil power supplies, transportation power and microelectric and portable power. Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, Director of the Energy Systems Engineering Program at the University of Michigan, elaborates further on this multidisciplinary specialization. For more information, go to:
