Industry support adds potential for capstone projects
Capstone: the high point; crowning achievement. For Mizzou Engineering seniors, as well as the thousands of students on the MU campus, it’s a word that signifies the end of the road, a final achievement in an undergraduate career, and sometimes the project that opens doors to the future. Senior Capstone Design projects aim to find […]
Research gives mechanical engineering students a taste of real world design and manufacturing
Sherif El-Gizawy has been a mechanical engineer and professor for more than 30 years, and for the past 23 of them he has taught and conducted research in his area of expertise — design and manufacturing — at the University of Missouri. Much of the research that he and his students have tackled has been […]
Senior mechanical engineering student’s year filled with highlights
James Berlin’s senior year in mechanical and aerospace engineering was a busy one. In addition to his 18-hour course load and the 600 hours he spent on his capstone project, he served as captain of the Basic Utility Vehicle Team, which took second place at this year’s competition. In April, he also won the award […]
Mechanical engineers turn focus to orthopedics
Josh Arnone and mechanical engineering professor Sherif El-Gizawy have worked together since 2007 when Arnone was starting work on his doctorate. Their initial research involved one of El-Gizawy’s Boeing-funded projects that involved the investigation of a rapid manufacturing technique using a novel plastic and its possible use in aircraft production. Even as they labored to […]
