Undergraduate Engineering Research in the Spotlight at Student Forum

Mizzou Engineers and students participating in Engineering REUs (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) were among nearly 130 student researchers across campus who had the opportunity to showcase their work last month. We spoke to some of our presenters to learn more about undergraduate research at Mizzou and what our students can do in 10 weeks.

Career Services helps student stay connected to engineering over the summer

When the spring semester ended and he could not travel home to Ukraine, Vladyslav Sazhen needed a job and a way to stay connected to engineering. He reached out to Career Services to find a part-time position through which he could stay connected to the field he is studying and proudly proclaims is his passion.
