Civil engineer develops lesson plans around bridges as part of I-70 project
At a STEM Cubs event in June, students had the opportunity to build bridges out of candy and toothpicks. How do you construct a road over a river? Why do some bridges have steel arches over the roadway while others don’t? How do bridges work, anyway? Sarah Orton These are some of the questions Mizzou Engineering’s Sarah Orton will answer as she develops curriculum around bridge-building for K-12 schools across the state. Orton, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, is working on the lesson plans with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Lunda Construction, the…

Cracking the code: Engineering team devises improved way to predict cracks
Rogelio Muñeton-Lopez, left, receives congratulations during the Engineering Mechanics Institute conference earlier this month where he was a finalist in the student paper competition for his work on predicting cracks. Cracks can cause serious problems on roads and bridges, as they compromise the strength and soundness of a structure. A Mizzou Engineering team has devised a way to better predict not only where a crack will occur but also the path it could take as it progresses. The work earned Rogelio Muñeton-Lopez, a master’s student in civil engineering, runner-up status at the Engineering Mechanics Institute conference earlier this…

Heart of the matter: Oliver part of team devising new way to detect heart disease
PhD student Maggie Oliver is part of a team working on a novel way to detect heart disease. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., many times claiming its victims without warning. Maggie Oliver, a PhD student in mechanical engineering, hopes to help to change that. She’s working with Noah Manring, Dean of the College of Engineering and Ketcham Professor, and Dr. Senthil Kumar from University of Missouri Hospital on research that would make it easier to uncover signs of cardiovascular problems. For Oliver, the work is personal. “My grandma actually died of a…

Mizzou Engineering team devises novel way to non-invasively monitor heart problems
In the future, people with heart problems may be able to monitor their condition from home, ensuring they are taking the appropriate type and amount of medicine. That’s because a Mizzou Engineering research team has devised a way to non-invasively assess whether a person’s heart is in balance with the circulatory system. The work earned PhD student Mohamed Zaid the first-place award in the engineering and technology category at MU’s 38th annual Research and Creative Activities Forum held earlier this month. In addition to a monetary prize, the competition gives graduate students the opportunity to share their work…

Lee selected for prestigious Tau Beta Pi graduate fellowship
Brandon Lee has received a Tau Beta Pi graduate fellowship. Brandon Lee, BS ChE ’22, has been selected for a Tau Beta Pi graduate fellowship, which comes with a $10,000 stipend for advanced study. Lee was one of just 31 engineering students selected for the prestigious fellowship, which is based on high scholarship, campus leadership and service, and promise of future contributions to the engineering profession. Lee, like all fellows, is a member of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society and the world’s largest engineering society. Previously, Lee received a Tau Beta Pi Scholarship for his undergraduate work at…
