Bagley College of Engineering

This is Charlie Gordon, a junior in mechanical engineering. He is spending his summer co-oping at Ergon.

We love showing off our students in their co-ops and internships.

He is spending the summer doing project management and traveling to different plants across the country. He also is getting some hands-on experience in the field.

Over 65% of our undergrads co-op or intern, allowing them to work alongside professionals, gain industry experience and build a valuable network that will help launch their careers while earning money at the same time. Students graduate with a head-start in their industry. Find your future with the Bagley College of Engineering!

Congratulations to MSU’s EcoCAR for completing the 4-year EcoCAR Mobility Challenge!

They finished 7th overall with 593.1 total points / 1000, recording 20 finishes of 4th place or better including 11: 1st place finishes, 1: 2nd place finish, 2: 3rd place finishes and 6: 4th place finishes. MSU’s strongest results were concentrated in required submissions/status items, several dynamic-event components at the year 4 final competition and the Mobility Challenge deliverables.

They also won the team collaboration award! This is a big deal, and the other teams gave them a standing ovation for this.

They received a large, wrestling-style belt as the team that worked hardest and cleared all critical DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes). They were tied with McMaster and just edged them out on this.
