Faculty

Engineering Teaching Associate Professor Gary Solbrekken said the energy engineering minor will provide students with a better background that will help them in energy-related careers. The aerospace engineering minor will take place of the aerospace emphasis and offered a more structured program.

Focus

  • Biological heat transfer
  • Solid state energy conversion and metrology development
  • Thermal management of electronic and nuclear components

Civil and environmental engineering junior Sital Uprety, fourth from left, and Paulos Mengsteab, 10th from left, are among 18 University of Missouri students named to the 2012-2013 Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program. The McNair Scholars Program aims to provide research opportunities as well as academic and professional growth and graduate school preparation to students who are first-generation college students or who are from a group underrepresented in graduate studies.

In August, Mark S. Spector, a program officer at the Office of Naval Research, visited the College of Engineering. He is shown here, at left, with Ahmed Yousif, one of two mechanical engineering students who competed in the RevCom Challenge. They are viewing MU's the device that was MU's solution to the challenge.

Kyler Turner, a graduate student in mechanical engineering took first place in the poster contest at the 2009 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition.
Kyler Turner is a graduate student working with Gary Solbrekken, a mechanical and aerospace engineering assistant professor, to test fuel plates that would allow research reactors to operate on low-enriched uranium. Turner poses with flow test equipment the research group constructed in their lab to run experiments that evaluate plate deformation due to coolant flow. Graduate student Jesse VanEnglenhoven and undergraduate honors researcher Aaron Siddons are also working on the project.
