The Wilson Center celebrates 25 years of student-driven building, learning and growing.

Michigan Engineering’s nearly 25,000 square-foot makerspace for students, the Wilson Student Team Project Center is stocked with lathes, mills, 3D printers, computer-aided design equipment—everything students need to build solar-powered cars, rockets, off-road vehicles, submarines, Mars rovers, even a concrete canoe. The cavernous, concrete-floored space, founded in 1999, was one of the first of its kind among U.S. universities and is still among the largest.

M-STARX joins teams from across North America for the Applied Collegiate Exoskeleton (ACE) competition.

In May 2024, collegiate teams from across North America gathered at the Université de Sherbrooke to compete in the Applied Collegiate Exoskeleton (ACE) competition. Founded in 2018, the ACE competition aims to test lower-body exoskeleton capabilities as they pertain to first responders, the primary users that this competition targets. Impressively, the competition is completely organized and led by undergraduates, and the host university rotates yearly. The 2024 competition attracted teams from Polytechnique Montréal, Université de Sherbrooke, École de Technologie Supérieure (ETS), University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Queen’s University.
