On anniversary, MU Materials Science & Engineering Institute celebrates success

Since opening a year ago, the MU Materials Science & Engineering Institute (MUMSEI) has had a lot of tangible successes.

Build a community with Mizzou SASE

Wrapping up its first year of being an active student organization, Mizzou’s chapter of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) is looking forward to expanding programming and reaching out to more students in the Fall.

Graduate student to use environmental engineering, data analysis skills at NASA

He grew up in a water-strapped village in Afghanistan, worked as a water engineer who helped similar communities and wants to continue to conduct research around environmental problems while teaching future generations. In the meantime, Jaweed Nazary will spend his summer working at NASA.

Driving toward success

Four years ago, Ogheneobarome “Obaro” Emeje chose Mizzou to stay close to her family. Little did she know, she would find a second one once she arrived.

Graduates reflect on time at Mizzou and look forward to the future

Each spring, Mizzou Engineering students bury their heads in coursework, try to enjoy the gorgeous weather and think about the exciting experiences that summer brings. For graduates, that routine changes as they look to their future careers, graduate school and new adventures.

Birds of a feather: VirtualHacks 2023 inspires flock of students to explore extended reality

Have you ever wanted to fly like a bird, complete tasks as a goose, or step inside the 2013 viral game, “Flappy Bird?” Extended reality (XR) makes it possible, as more than two dozen students demonstrated at a recent XR hackathon.

Civil engineering students take honors at regional competition

Mizzou civil engineering students won awards at the 2023 American Society of Civil Engineers Mid-America Student Conference, hosted by Kansas State University.

Pioneer in degradation of ‘forever chemicals’ brings research to Mizzou

Before most of his peers knew them as “forever chemicals,” Feng “Frank” Xiao knew they were a problem. It was the early 2010s, and he was reviewing Centers for Disease Control data when he noticed a disturbing trend. Pre- and polyfluoroalkyls (PFAS) — compounds mass marketed since the 1940s — were showing up in more than 95% of blood samples, and they appeared to be wreaking havoc on human health.

Borgelt receives MU Advisor of the Year Award for service to students, E-Week

Steve Borgelt was honored this week with the University of Missouri’s Advisor of the Year Award for his more than decade of service as advisor of the Engineers’ Club and St. Patrick’s Board at Mizzou Engineering.

Krishnaswamy shares solutions for a zero hunger world at AAAS Conference

More than 2 billion people in the world face hidden hunger and malnutrition, even as 1.3 billion tons of edible food is either lost or wasted every year. Meanwhile, it’s estimated that the global human population will increase to 9-10 billion over the next 50 years, putting even more strain on food production. These are overwhelmingly complex problems. Assistant Professor Kiruba Krishnaswamy has a way of making solutions sound simple.
