Industrial engineering education at Mizzou concludes with a two-semester capstone project. These capstone projects give students the chance to put what they’ve learned so far in their classes to the test through working with an actual company (manufacturing, health care or logistics) on a project they provide. Students work with classmates in small groups, together […]
Assistant Professor Hussein Nassar in the mechanical and aerospace engineering department recently won a prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) grant. He received the award for his work on identifying unifying mathematical models that can explain the behavior of deployable structures. Research into these morphing metamaterials could aid in the […]
Mizzou Engineering students learn beyond just the classroom or lab. They also learn transferable skills and enhance their education by working on campus. These students support their peers and staff. That is why the MU Career Center instituted the “Student Shout-Out” recognition program, which encourages supervisors to highlight student employees’ good work. Supervisors write short […]
People with shift work sleep disorder (SWSD) are three times more likely to crash or be in a near-crash than people without that condition.
