150 Years of Mizzou Engineering: 1968-1979
Students work in a graphics engineering class in the 1970s. Our series exploring the history of Mizzou Engineering continues in the year 1968, when William Kimel begins what would become a 17-year tenure as Dean of the College. Kimel became known for his collaborative style and had a keen interest in developing bioengineering studies in partnership with the School of Medicine. Bioengineering courses and research activities would be primarily under electrical engineering in the 1970s until the subject became a formal program in 1980. William Kimel Perhaps the biggest impact on the future of Mizzou Engineering was Kimel’s foresight. He…

Blockchain could be key to connecting patients with clinical trials
Blockchain technology could help connect patients to clinical trials. Before a prescription drug or device can become available to the general public, it has to go through clinical trials to determine its safety and effectiveness. The problem is that most people don’t even know these trials exist, let alone how to participate in them. Chi-Ren Shyu, Shumaker Professor in electrical engineering and computer science, believes blockchain is the key to connecting patients to the companies developing potentially life-saving treatments. Shyu is also director of the MU Institute for Data Science and Informatics. Chi-Ren Shyu Blockchain is a…

Mizzou Engineers develop new method to design semiconductors
A new way to make semiconductors:Topology (A) and phase (B) imagery of the functionalized zone after zinc oxide atomic layer deposition. Mizzou Engineers have come up with a novel new technique to design semiconductors, the chips that make your phones, laptops and other devices not only smart, but also compact. Matthias Young and Matt Maschmann outlined a proof of concept for their technique in a recent issue of Nano Select and worked with the Technology Advancement Office to file an application to patent the work. Now, they’re hoping to scale up and optimize the process to make…
