Assets of the Motor State Assets of the Motor State January 2013 2 There is a reason the automotive world saves its best for the Motor City each year, unveiling its most dynamic vehicles on the global stage during the most anticipated industry spectacle in the world – the North American International Auto Show. Nowhere else is there as dense an automotive industry cluster with manufacturers, suppliers and businesses from around the globe. Whether it’s high-tech engineering, top- notch research, a highly skilled workforce or close proximity to a premier global supply chain; Michigan has it all. Today’s automotive industry is a testament to the scope of human ingenuity. Automobiles arguably contain more technology and innovation than any other product, adapting to meet mercurial consumer wants and growing regulatory demand for increased efficiency and improved performance and safety. Automotive manufacturers are navigating the twists and turns of globalization and fending off relentless competition through just-in time delivery, revamped product lines, global vehicle platforms and build-where-you-sell business models. The birthplace of the modern automobile is now a pioneer in the research and development of technology defining the 21st century automobile, like infotainment systems, lightweight composite materials, and fuel cell and plug-in vehicles. The road to automotive innovation and cutting-edge technology runs through the heart of Michigan. With Governor Rick Snyder at the helm, Michigan has emerged as a right-to-work state, a top ten business tax climate and one of the fastest growing economies in the nation. Following tax reforms like the repeal the Michigan Business Tax and the personal property tax on industrial capital, Michigan’s business climate is getting even better. This document combines substantive data and testimonials from automotive experts to prove Michigan is the global epicenter of the automotive industry. This report profiles the high quality academic institutions and programs, the extensive supply base, the research and development footprint and the prime business climate here, all of which support a vibrant and growing automotive cluster. I contend there is no place more ideal to design, engineer and mass-produce automobiles or auto-related components than in Michigan. I invite you to experience this for yourself and see why “Michigan is Auto.” Sandy K. Baruah President and CEO Detroit Regional Chamber 3 Education & Industry: Michigan’s Talent Advantage If it’s top-notch automotive industry talent you’re looking for, look no further. Michigan’s highly skilled workforce is a prime reason it is still the epicenter of the automotive industry – as it has been since the dawn of the 20th century. Home to more than 65,000 engineers, Michigan ranked first in the nation for its concentration of engineering and architecture talent in 2011. It has the highest concentration of industrial and mechanical engineers of any state in the U.S. and as of May 2011, Michigan employed more industrial engineers (31,330) and mechanical engineers (23,760) than any other state in the country. Highly Skilled, Competitive Workforce Michigan Ranks: • #1 in employment of industrial engineers • #1 in employment of mechanical engineers 31,330 • Top 5 for employment of materials engineers 23,760 • Top 10 for employment of electro-mechanical technicians • #11 for employment of electrical engineers Uniquely Educated Workforce 1,180 Changes in technology and the increasingly technical nature of the 4,690 automotive industry are causing automotive organizations to hire employees with specific knowledge, skills and expertise. What makes Michigan’s workforce valuable to this industry are the auto-specific 500 programs being offered at 91 colleges, universities, community colleges and vocational schools around the state. According to the Center for Automotive Research, Michigan has 650 automotive programs being offered at the post-secondary level. 4 Education & Industry Post-Secondary Automotive Programs: College for Creative Studies (CCS) CCS offers a world-renowned transportation design program, which combines research, business and studio courses to simulate real projects in the classroom that reach beyond aesthetics and styling. With alumni working at every major automotive company in the world, CCS has an unmatched reputation within the transportation design industry. Lawrence Technological University (LTU) LTU’s Transportation Design Program reflects the university’s signature “Theory and Practice” approach to learning for students by combining in-depth conceptual investigations with hands-on projects and extensive exposure to working professionals. Through this program, students work on industry-sponsored projects during all four years of college and many are hired as interns or co-op students prior to graduation. Michigan Technological University (MTU) MTU’s Enterprise Program provides students the opportunity to work on real-world client projects, whether the deliverable is an innovative product, a pioneering solution, or a much-needed service. Many teams design, manufacture and test their own prototypes, collaborating with clients from industry, communities and government organizations. University of Michigan (U-M) U-M offers one of only two Ph.D. programs in the country in automotive engineering. Areas of specialization in the program include: o Materials and materials processing o Energy systems and thermal management o Dynamics and controls o Power electronics o Vehicle design o Manufacturing and systems integration o Vehicle informatics and communication “This is the ideal place to assemble a workforce of skilled, experienced engineers and to recruit new engineers from some of the country’s best engineering colleges and universities. Michigan is also the home to many of the industry’s top suppliers, helping to establish strong relationships and collaborations. Finally, being headquartered in Michigan gives us access to many of the nation’s top laboratories and research partners to strengthen our efforts to develop cutting-edge future vehicle technologies.” - Carla Bailo, Senior Vice President of Research and Development, Nissan North America, Inc. Michigan is #1 in availability of skilled labor. - Area Development Magazine Education & Industry 5 Nationally Ranked Engineering Programs Michigan has 17 universities and colleges with nationally ranked undergraduate engineering programs according to the 2013 U.S. News & World Report. Andrews University Lawrence Technological University Baker College – Flint Michigan State University Calvin College Michigan Technological University Ferris State University Northern Michigan University Grand Valley Sate University Saginaw Valley State University Hope College University of Detroit Mercy Kettering University University of Michigan-Dearborn Lake Superior State University University of Michigan Wayne State University Kettering University University of Michigan Two programs ranked in the top 10: Four programs ranked in the top 10: #1 Industrial/Manufacturing #2 Industrial/Manufacturing #7 Mechanical #5 Mechanical #7 Electrical #8 Materials In addition to the nationally ranked undergraduate programs, Michigan also has four universities with nationally ranked graduate engineering programs, including: 6 Education & Industry The University Research Corridor Michigan is home to the premier collaborative automotive education program. The University Research Corridor (URC) – which includes Michigan State University (MSU), the University of Michigan (U-M) and Wayne State University (WSU) – provides a unique educational platform to the automotive-related engineers and technicians of tomorrow while playing a key role in automotive research and development (R&D) today.

The UMTRI employs 144 researchers, technical and administrations personnel, teaching faculty and graduate students. Its biggest ongoing project is the result of a $22 million contract from the U.S. Department of Transportation focused on the viability of connected vehicle technology and safety applications. o MSU’s Composite Vehicle Research Center (CVRC) engages in research and design of composite structures for safe, durable and lightweight vehicles for all modes of transportation. With a particular focus on research in composite vehicles and vehicle components, the center aims to unify the transformation
