The Wayne State University College of Engineering received a grant through the 21st Century Jobs Fund for more than $3 million. A total of $4 million more went to other projects at the school. The College of Engineering is working on several cutting-edge technologies that could potentially spur economic growth, including bioengineering research and nanotechnology. Dean Ralph Kummler is quoted in the article. "The capability we have been working on for more than a decade . . . through the Center for Automotive Research has been to develop tremendous expertise in diesel engines," he pointed out.
