Students see engineering in action at NSF-sponsored fluid dynamics camp
More than 20 local high school students last month came to a camp on fluid dynamics and left with a greater appreciation of everything Mizzou Engineering has to offer.

Mizzou Engineering team develops tool to assess diabetes risk
Mizzou Engineers are bringing artificial intelligence services to the end user through edge intelligence, developing a smartphone app that lets you determine your risk for diabetes. Unlike other tools available, the system would allow you to enter personal health data securely and ensure it remains private.

New lab brings photogrammetry, motion capture system to Mizzou Engineering
The motion capture system takes images from all angles to turn people into digital avatars. A new lab at Mizzou Engineering will give students access to the latest technology allowing them to turn images of large objects into 3D digital assets. It’s called the Collaborative Research Environment for Extended Reality, or CREXR Lab, and it gives students and faculty the ability to transform real-world objects, scenes and even individuals into components that can be integrated into virtual, augmented and mixed-reality settings. The lab prepares students to work with photogrammetry and motion capture technologies. Photogrammetry equipment is used to turn two-dimensional…

150 Years of Leadership: Joe Hoffmann
Call it fate, happenstance, coincidence or destiny, Joe Hoffmann, BS ME ’13, knows he’s exactly where he’s supposed to be. As General Manager at Hoffmann Brothers in St. Louis, he oversees operations of five divisions: residential and commercial heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical and appliance. Since he started in 2016, he’s helped grow company revenue from $10 million to $80 million. That’s a 30% increase year-over-year. “Every year as we’re budgeting, we say ‘There’s no way we can do it again,’” said Hoffmann, the youngest son of founder Robert Hoffmann. “But we build a budget from the ground up,…

Mizzou Engineer studying augmented reality to bring coursework to life
A student uses augmented reality to study ergonomics, or the study of movements in the workplace. Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to bring coursework to life. Imagine, for instance, learning about supply chains by seeing the various components of an operation laid out in front of you, from the manufacturing plant to the delivery site. Jung Hyup Kim, an associate professor of industrial engineering, is exploring how best to incorporate AR technology into engineering curriculum. He’s the Principal Investigator on a National Science Foundation grant that is allowing him to design and test AR lessons in a…

Robotic dogs, battle bots, AI: MU Robotics Club offers something for everyone
Students build battle bots at the weekly Robotics Lab. Interested in learning how to operate Spot the robot or how autonomous vacuums navigate their environments? Curious about artificial intelligence? Just want to see some robots fight? No matter your major or skill level, there’s a place for you within MU Robotics. MU Robotics is an umbrella organization that brings together all-things robotics at the University of Missouri. While that’s mainly a subject reserved for Mizzou Engineering students and hosted by the Department of Engineering and Information Technology, the group is open to anyone on campus, said Cameron Ellis, president…

In pursuit of better lithium-ion batteries
MU researchers Matthias J. Young (left) and Xiaoqing He are using a $500,000 grant from NSF to explore a key technical challenge preventing lithium-ion batteries from achieving optimal energy performance. By Eric Stann | MU News Bureau From personal electronics to electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries are used in many technologies today. Over the last 30 years, scientists have worked to improve the overall safety and performance of these batteries by converting a key component, called electrolytes, from liquid to solid — partly due to an issue of the liquid being flammable. Yet, while solid-state lithium-ion batteries — using solid electrolytes…

By Megan Sauls Wilson | MU Undergraduate Studies Bergen Norway, woven with hiking trails overlooking Tveitevannet Lake, immediately enticed Nate Beattie, a computer science major, “I found myself falling into a routine quickly to take advantage of living in a beautiful city,” he said. “I would grab breakfast, take a train to class, study in the student union and then hike, bike or run in the afternoon. Everyone was always friendly, and the city was easy to navigate.” Nate looked forward to his time out and about in Bergen…
