The Engineering Technology Department is proud to announce this year's senior capstone presentations. This is the culmination of years of hard work, late nights in the lab, and rigorous problem-solving.

Our graduating seniors in both Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) will be showcasing their final projects, demonstrating their ability to bridge the gap between theoretical design and real-world application.

Come out and see what our students can do!

The NMU WellBeing Fair is open to students, faculty, and staff, which highlights local businesses and community partners who support wellbeing. The fair's purpose is to create a welcoming, educational, and engaging environment where participants can explore local resources, services, screenings, and offerings that support wellbeing across all of the eight dimensions: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, financial, career, and environmental.

The fair will take place on Thursday, March 26th, from 10:00am to 3:00pm in the Northern Center Ballrooms. The first 200 participants to check in at the welcome table will receive a WellBeing tote bag. Those who complete the wellbeing passport by checking off each of the dimensions by visiting corresponding stations will be entered to win a variety of prizes, sponsored by the fair vendors.
