Mizzou chemical engineering students complete AIChE design challenge for senior capstone project

Each semester, chemical engineering students complete the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Student Design Competition. The 2024 competition challenged students to design a power-to-gas facility.

Mechanical engineering students develop airbrake system as part of capstone

Learn more about one mechanical engineering capstone project, during which students worked with their client, Mizzou Space Program, to develop an airbrake system to improve accuracy of rocket flight altitudes.

Information technology students delve into web design with capstone project

The information technology capstone group set out to develop a degree audit program. Right now, IT degree audits can be a little daunting as students have numerous options to take electives around web and mobile app development, media technology, programming and cybersecurity. However, before they can proceed to advanced-level courses, students have to know which prerequisite courses are required.

Industrial engineering students reconfigure workflow layout for local manufacturing facility

For their capstone course, students studying industrial engineering work with a client to develop a solution to an engineering problem. This fall, one group was assigned to work with American Air Filter (AAF) to reconfigure their production layout for one of the company’s products.
