When it comes to helping Huskies get hired, Michigan Tech goes beyond the expected — providing a weeks-long Career Fest that offers students a wealth of opportunities to form relationships, explore opportunities and find their path to a fulfilling career.

“Michigan Tech’s Career Fest has always been a fantastic opportunity for students and companies to connect with each other in a more informal, casual environment,” said Cody Kangas, executive director of Career Services at Tech. “It’s where students can meet prospective employers, not just to apply for jobs, but to engage in real conversations about their futures. The atmosphere of Fest offers a chance to ask questions, learn, and showcase both interest and drive. It enables space for students to be proactive, forge connections, and fine-tune their approach as they warm up for fall Career Fair.”

Find out how Career Fest began and the ways it benefits students, alumni and employers at Michigan Tech News.

In light of the fall 2025 launch of Michigan Tech's Essential Education program, Provost Andrew Storer has charged a new standing committee, the Essential Education Steering Committee, with overseeing and administering this new program.

The committee launched this fall and replaces the previous General Education Council. Storer and Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education Marika Seigel sincerely thank the outgoing members of the General Education Council for their service to the University and dedication to providing the best educational experience possible to undergraduate students at Michigan Tech.

The Essential Education Steering Committee is charged with “oversight of Essential Education curriculum development, assessment, and continuous improvement.” Activities include developing and implementing a course review and approval process and timeline, providing input and oversight regarding assessment and continuous improvement of the Essential Education curriculum, giving feedback to Essential Education instructors and units regarding curricular needs and possible modifications, and assisting in planning an annual Essential Education Symposium.

Membership of the new Essential Education Steering Committee includes:

• Marika Seigel (APUE/PHC), chair
• Steve Patchin (APUE)
• Jean DeClerck (APUE)
• Nancy Barr (APUE)
• Cassandra Reed-Vandam (APUE)
• Darren Bausano (Registrar's Office)
• Anna McClatchy (DOS)
• Steven Holloway (COB)
• Laura Rouleau (SS)
• Holly Hassel (HU)
• AJ Hamlin (EF)
• Valoree Gagnon (CFRES)
• Mike Maxwell (VPA)
• Mike Meyer (Physics)
• Yu Cai (CC)
• Leonard Bohmann (COE)

The committee began meeting on Sept. 18 and has completed its first item of business: creating a proposal process to include new courses on the Essential Education course lists and to switch courses between lists. The Essential Education Proposal & List Change Form is now available online. The committee has also developed a Requirements for Course Lists document that provides a list of required and desirable elements for each Essential Ed course list.

“Thank you to all those who have agreed to serve on the new Essential Education Steering Committee,” said Storer. “Their contributions to our new general education program and its successful launch will positively impact thousands of students’ lives in the years to come.”

MSE Seminar with Rebekah Smith

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is hosting a seminar presented by undergraduate student Rebekah Smith today, Oct. 10, from 1-1:20 p.m. in M&M 610.

Smith will present “Linking Microstructure and Processing Technology in Wrought Iron from the Turn of the Twentieth Century.” She is advised by Josh Mueller.

From the abstract:
Wrought iron is ubiquitously recognized in ornamental applications and is also known as a material of antiquity with archaeological evidence dating back approximately 5000 years. While this material is simply referred to as wrought iron, the raw materials, processing technologies, and final products varied drastically over the centuries that wrought iron was produced. Perhaps a lesser-known period of wrought iron production is post Industrial Revolution, around the turn of the twentieth century. During this period, wrought iron was produced by a transient liquid phase processing method, known as puddling. While the adoption of steel making technology eventually eclipsed production of puddled wrought iron in the first half of the twentieth century, there was a brief period when wrought iron, cast iron, and steel were distinct engineering materials. With improvement in steel making, the use-case for puddled wrought iron narrowed and some of the attributes associated with wrought iron were discovered to be less significant. The present work delves into the historical process of puddling and discusses effects that this process had on the microstructure of wrought iron making it distinct from cast iron and steel. Microstructure analysis and mechanical testing of wrought iron artifacts are presented to support discussion and showcase the microstructure and performance of puddled wrought iron. State of the art characterization techniques including light-optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with electron backscatter diffraction and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy reveal the anisotropic microstructure and chemical distribution in the ferrite and slag. X-ray diffraction techniques were used to verify phases in the microstructure and to provide a quantitative measurement of grain size and carbon concentration in ferrite. Mechanical testing results indicate the strength of the wrought iron samples. These modern characterization techniques are combined with a historical processing perspective to draw connections between processing, structure and properties.

Smith is an undergraduate student with primary interest in iron and steel metallurgy. Her undergraduate research experience includes characterization of ferrous materials, and she has three years of internship experience in the steel industry. Upon completion of her B.S. degree, she plans to pursue graduate research at Michigan Tech.

MSE Seminar with Eli Harma

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is hosting a seminar presented by Ph.D. candidate Eli Harma today, Oct. 10, from 1:25-1:45 p.m. in M&M 610.

Harma will present “Effect of Mg and Si Concentration on Hot Deformation of AA6082.” He is advised by Paul Sanders.

From the abstract:
Within the broad AA6082 specification range, compositions that require a range of extrusion forces may exist. The activation energy for hot deformation is a function of Mg and Si, and this is one mechanism that impacts the extrusion parameters. To quantify these effects, Mg and Si were varied within the AA6082 composition range at constant Mn, Cr, and Fe with a common homogenization treatment. The inverse hyperbolic sine model was fit to hot compression data as a function of temperature and strain rate. The model constants were used in simulations to determine the extrusion properties. Increasing Mg from 0.6 to 1.2 wt% decreased the activation energy from 262 to 220 kJ/mol and increased the extrusion force. In contrast, increasing Si from 0.7 to 1.3 wt% decreased the recrystallization fraction, increased activation energy from 262 to 292 kJ/mol, and reduced the extrusion force.

Harma is a Ph.D. candidate at Michigan Technological University in his third year studying aluminum extrusion alloys. He has his bachelor's and master's degrees in materials science and engineering obtained at Michigan Tech. Fields of interest include hot deformation flow stress analysis, EBSD analysis, alloy design and materials modeling for FEA models.

SPARC Mobile Atmospheric Research Laboratory Coming to MTU

A National Science Foundation (NSF) mobile atmospheric research laboratory is coming to Michigan Tech tomorrow, Oct. 11, and the campus community is invited to tour the facility.

The SSEC Portable Atmospheric Research Center (SPARC), a 35-foot towable trailer housed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Space Science and Engineering Center, will be open for touring anytime from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. tomorrow near the Husky Statue.

The trailer arrives in the Keweenaw Peninsula today, Oct. 10. It is visiting from Oct. 10-23 as part of an NSF-funded education and outreach project called “Lake Induced Trapping of Emissions Along the Superior Coast,” or LITESC. The SPARC trailer’s advanced instruments are able to characterize the lowest 1-2 kilometers of the atmosphere, called the atmospheric boundary layer. The objective of the NSF project is to characterize atmospheric structure, including lake breezes and temperature inversions, and how this structure traps air constituents.

LITESC augments another research project funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on the air quality of the Keweenaw. As part of these projects, a team of Michigan Tech scientists and engineers will conduct measurements of the Keweenaw atmosphere in various locations during the SPARC facility’s visit, said Professor Judith Perlinger (CEGE), principal investigator of the NSF project and lead scientist of the air quality aspects of the EPA project.

Led by Perlinger, Assistant Professor Shawn Brueshaber (MAE) and Postdoctoral Scholar Sandeep Chaudhry (CEGE), a team of six MTU students will assist in taking measurements alongside 14 University of Wisconsin-Madison students led by UW Professor Ankur Desai. The measurements will be conducted in sync with sampling for the EPA project.
