By establishing Nexus, the College of Engineering is committed to investing in your ideas. Whether you are a faculty member, instructor, or academic unit chair, we encourage you to submit a concept idea for a new course or program. Through a four-step intake process, our team will work with you to turn your new idea into a reality. We evaluate concepts based on a number of criteria, but any proposal must satisfy at least one of the following:
- Fill an important gap in the overall College of Engineering portfolio
- Enhance or complement an existing noncredit or academic credit program
- Increase the impact and visibility of Michigan Engineering on lifelong learners
If you have an idea for a new course or program, get started by emailing your concept idea to Andrea Schuitman at aschuit@umich.edu. After receiving your idea, we will contact you within 48 hours to discuss your concept in more detail.
