Co-Chairs discuss new events and memories ahead of Engineers’ Week 2024

This spring, engineering students at Mizzou will follow the gold brick road to celebrate Engineers’ Week 2024: The Engineer of St. Patrick. E-Week is organized by St. Pat’s Board and Engineers’ Club, which are led this year by seniors Jimmy Keating and Madi Robinson. We asked them to tell us a little about themselves, the tradition and what the College can expect for this year’s festivities.

Through internship at NASA, Mizzou Engineer finds satellite imagery key to monitoring environmental changes

The ice that used to cover roughly 85% of Alaska is thawing, causing ground to collapse and putting communities at risk. Jaweed Nazary, a Ph.D. student in civil and environmental engineering, has found that satellite imagery is key to pinpointing exactly which locations are most susceptible to these changing conditions.

If you are considering graduate school, reach out to professors to find shared research interests. I've found success at Mizzou largely through the guidance of my professors and fellow graduate students, so I encourage any potential student to form connections within the program!

MUVR: shaping tomorrow’s innovators

MU students are harnessing the virtual to train for reality. Austin Barr is working with his fellow IT and computer science majors to raise awareness of the University of Missouri’s Virtual Reality Organization (MUVR) across campus and open the club and the Collaborative Research Environments for Extended Reality (CREXR) Lab to students from all disciplines.
