About Engineering

MU first offered up engineering excellence with a civil engineering class in 1849.

Today, Mizzou Engineering excellence includes eight disciplines, 110 faculty members, 1,900 of the brightest undergraduates on campus and over 400 exceptional graduate students.

Engineering Majors, Minors & Degree Programs include:

Student Opportunities

As an engineering student you have the mind, the ability, and the potential. Mizzou Engineering has the skilled faculty, the labs and the classrooms to provide you with an excellent education. Besides gaining expertise in your chosen field, you’ll be encouraged and given opportunities to develop entrepreneurship, leadership, and teamwork skills.

Mizzou Engineering is more than a parade of auditorium lectures. Exceptional students can get involved in the undergraduate research program. If you decide to join, you will work with a faculty member on a research project beginning your sophomore year, and can receive graduate credit for your efforts during your senior year.

Strength in Research

Mizzou Engineering sustains 17 research programs that are designated as areas of exemplary expertise and success. The college contributes significantly to MU’s overall annual research and development spending – creating new jobs while you train to fill them.

Variety of Opportunity

Plan to take advantage of the extensive educational and extracurricular possibilities offered at Mizzou. MU’s wide range of programs and facilities means rare opportunities for multidisciplinary study and research – just for starters, there’s the school of medicine, college of veterinary medicine, and the nuclear research reactor.

Engineering doesn’t end at the classroom door or even in the lab.  Get involved with any of the 30 engineering student organizations, or get your hands down and dirty with our design teams.  You’ll excel as a future engineer and make friends along the way.

Outside of class

Two-dozen student organizations and design teams offer a variety of opportunities for undergraduates to get involved, make friends and excel as students and future engineers. An award-winning recreational facility is also available for student use.

K-12 & Community School Involvement

The engineering bug starts early – Mizzou Engineering hosts numerous K-12 activities, including Lego camps, summer programs, and weekend events. Student organizations share their expertise with students in and out of the classroom.  High school and college teachers also can expand their understanding of engineering principles through workshops.
