If your question is regarding Admissions, please see our Admission Instructions site at (some link)
BEFORE formally applying to the graduate program, you MUST obtain a tentative acceptance from a professor in our department, regardless of which degree you’re applying for, otherwise the chances are very slim that anyone will read your admissions application.
The names of the professors and their research areas may be found at (some link)
o Please send professors “Statement of Intent of Research” (in the professor’s area of research), “CV” (include publications), and copies of all university level transcripts regardless of whether you received a degree.
§ Please narrow your research area. If you write too much general information about engineering the professor will not know what area of engineering you’re interested in and dismiss your request to join his/her research group
o If you do not hear back from a professor in about 5-6 weeks, it usually means they are not interested in your application at this time – please try another professor
§ Your background may not fit in the professor’s research area
§ The professor may not be able to accept additional students at this time.
o NOTE: If you do not obtain a professor your admissions paperwork may not be evaluated
Please see our Admissions Instructions site at(some link)
o GRE are NOT required
o English Language required test scores are listed (some link)
§ English Language exams are REQUIRED -- unless you studied in a exempted country
§ English exams score may not be older than 2 years old, otherwise you will have to re-take the exam
§ We look at overall language scores not sections scores
o Fees, tuition, and deadlines are also listed in the right-hand navy bar (some link)
o GPA Calculation information is listed in the right-hand navy bar
o Deadlines for application submission is listed in the right-hand navy bar
o Our Pre-Master’s program is for students with good GPAs coming in from other disciplines or from three year B.Sc. programs in engineering. This program is NOT for students with low GPAs to bring their GPA up to a 3.5.
o Minimum GPA 3.5 using a 4.5 GPA scale is recommended (also info as to how to calculate GPA may be found on our Admissions site).
§ We WILL NOT calculate your GPA until you’ve received tentative acceptance from a professor.
§ The request to calculate GPA must come from the professor – PLEASE DO NOT call us to calculate your GPA
o Graduate Advisors WILL NOT look for a professor for you – you must contact professors yourself and explain your research.
o FUNDING: You must discuss funding or financial support directly with the professor who gives you tentative acceptance into the graduate program.
o START DATES: You must discuss your start date directly with the professor who gives you tentative acceptance into the graduate program.
o CVs, transcripts, et. al. sent to a graduate advisor or the inquiry emails will be destroyed upon receipt. We do not accept unsolicited documents.
o Course information must meet the requirements of the professor and his/her research group
· Do not send transcripts or links to your CVs unless you're asked to do so. We will discard unsolicited attachments.
· Do not phone us, we cannot return non-local phone calls -- contact us by EMAIL only at (some link)·
Do not saturate us with the same emails or send us emails daily. We will consider this harassment and block you.

Hello!
I am also trying to contact supervisors from last 3-4 months. I am in mechanical though.
My experience with U of M is worst. At other universities professor at least reply that they dnt have any position, but at u of M they are not even reading the mail (I used mail tracker tools).
I gave up after 2-3 weeks. I don't believe it is worth to convince someone who doesn't have the decency to reply. then I reached out to proff of some other universities who were kind enough to make a discussion regarding my interest.
