CAVS

Mission

CAVS is an interdisciplinary center. It provides engineering, research, development, and technology transfer teams focused on complex problems, such as those encountered in technologies designed to improve human mobility. The development efforts provide short-term solutions relevant to regional manufacturers while the core research builds longer-term knowledge needed for sustained economic development. At the same time students gain valuable project experience that compliments their formal classroom learning.

Spotlight on Research

A group of students from Beijing toured CAVS to learn what the university has to offer to engineering students. The visiting students were in the United States to study English as part of the American Language and Culture Program. The students attend the Beijing Institute of Technology, and many of them are majoring in engineering. The students spent time touring the CAVS facilities and talking with researchers. MSU has an ongoing relationship with the Beijing Institute of Technology, and many of their students come to MSU to enter graduate programs.

Alexis Powe, the coordinator of the American Language and Culture Program in the Office of International Education, accompanied the students on the tour.

“We are grateful to the Bagley College of Engineering for arranging a tour of CAVS for our visiting students. The students were especially interested in the Challenge X vehicle and the center’s outstanding computing capabilities,” said Powe.
