Mizzou Engineering welcomes STEM Scholars at meet and greet event

Mizzou Engineering has welcomed 12 aspiring civil engineers whose passion for the field helped earn them Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). At a Meet and Greet event Thursday, Aug. 25, the incoming class of STEM Scholars had the opportunity to hear from…

Civil Engineering research looks at concrete under sustained loads

For the most part, buildings held up with reinforced concrete columns have the capacity to withstand the test of time. In a few cases, however, construction errors, material deterioration and misuse can lead to overloading, and at some point, that overloading can cause buildings to collapse. Sarah Orton, an associate professor of civil engineering, has…

CEE Spring 2022 Capstone Projects

Civil engineering education at Mizzou concludes with a capstone project. These capstone projects allow students to apply what they’ve learned in their classes and work together in teams to study real world challenges and offer recommendations to those problems.

Civil engineer develops lesson plans around bridges as part of I-70 project

How do you construct a road over a river? Why do some bridges have steel arches over the roadway while others don’t? How do bridges work, anyway? Sarah…

Mizzou collaboration leads to national award

The Missouri Center for Transportation Innovation (MCTI) received a High Value Research award for its Pollinator Habitat Project from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

STEM Cubs branches out

STEM Cubs, MU’s popular science, technology, engineering and mathematics day camp, is back. The program recently expanded to include middle schoolers, and nearly 80 students attended last weekend's sessions.

Cracking the code: Engineering team devises improved way to predict cracks

Cracks can cause serious problems on roads and bridges, as they compromise the strength and soundness of a structure. A Mizzou…

ZouSim uses simulated environment to study driver behavior

Erika Zhou is “driving” 50 in a 60-mile-per-hour zone. When she approaches road work, her speed drops to about 15 below the posted limit. A few days later, Stuart…

Engineer develops underwater imaging system to investigate natural seeps

It’s estimated that roughly 160,000 tons of oil and gas naturally enter North American waters each year. These so-called “natural seeps” are hydrocarbons that come out of plant or animal fossils under the seafloor. Depending on where they are, the bubbles…
