Built different: Torq’N Tigers Tractor Pulling Team places in top 5 at competition

After months of planning, design and fabrication, students on the Torq’N Tigers Quarter Scale Tractor Pulling Team earned honors at the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) International Quarter Scale Student Design Competition this month.

Industrial Engineering students present at national conference

Industrial Engineering students and faculty traveled to New Orleans last month to present research projects at the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) annual conference.

Mizzou Engineer receives CAREER Award for research around polymer science

In the Mizzou Thin Film Coatings and Materials Electrochemistry Lab, Matthias Young is advancing the field of polymer science for technologies such as batteries and water desalination.

Engineers share expertise around Nautilus with Great Plains Network

Mizzou Engineers are sharing their expertise around the National Research Platform, or Nautilus, with academic peers and leaders across the state this year. Nautilus is a massively scaled hypercluster with thousands of compute nodes located all across the U.S. and powered by Kubernetes, an open source software platform.

Civil Engineering team develops realistic artificial data set for road safety studies

A Mizzou Engineering team is hoping artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to prevent vehicle crashes in the future. To that end, they’ve developed realistic artificial data sets (RAD) that can be used to train machines to predict the factors that cause wrecks. These data sets are now available through the U.S. Department of Transportation. The three-year $1.1M project was supported by the US DOT’s Exploratory Advance Research Program.

AI software can predict ‘roadmap’ for protein location, biological discoveries

Recently, Dong Xu, Curators' Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Missouri, and colleagues updated their protein localization prediction model, MULocDeep, with the ability to provide more targeted predictions, including specific models for animals, humans and plants.

Mizzou team uses EMG signals to assess movement in osteoarthritis patients

An interdisciplinary research team at Mizzou has demonstrated a way to use non-invasive electromyography, or EMG, signals to assess lower body movements in osteoarthritis patients.

Industry consortium guides expansion of construction management programming

Mizzou Engineering continues to expand programming around construction management with assistance from industry representatives from some of the top firms in the country.

Chemical engineering students complete 2023 AIChE Student Design Challenge for capstone project

Chemical Engineering students at Mizzou used their capstone project this past semester to create a process to turn recycled plastic into oil for a new material and also provided recommendations to improve recycling practices in Indonesia.

Information technology students create Mizzou trivia game for capstone project

Information technology students at Mizzou this semester developed a single-player trivia game centered around Mizzou’s historic columns. The project was one of many created by IT students in their capstone course, a class that wraps up students’ degrees and prepares them for the life of an IT professional.
