Mosaic and Michigan Engineering leaders build programs and technology that heighten institutional agility, increase collaboration, and conserve faculty time.
Mission
The Mosaic Project strives to enhance institutional agility so that Michigan Engineering and its partners can move quickly to address complex interdisciplinary challenges for the common good. Using evidence-based strategies, we work to make it as easy as possible for teams to assemble and work together effectively, building on the strengths of our diverse community. We support the dean, associate deans, chairs, and other leaders in strengthening Michigan Engineering’s collaborative culture and unlocking faculty members’ time to engage in it.
