Governor Jennifer Granholm met with Wayne State University student and faculty and congratulated the university for having been awarded five grants totaling $7.2 million from the state's 21st Century Jobs Fund initiative. She also toured the College of Engineering and viewed some of the alternative energy projects under development. More than $2 million of the grant money that went to WSU was awarded to professor K.Y. Simon Ng, director of alternative energy technology, for a project to develop synthetic fuel to power mobile generators for the military. The collaboration is a public-private partnership between WSU, Detroit-based Titan Energy Development Inc. and the National Automotive Center.
