Distinguished alumni panelists tout benefits of industrial engineering degree
Students interested in business or technical leadership who want to keep career options open should consider a degree in industrial engineering, a group of distinguished Mizzou alumni agreed last week.

Engineering team working with Port of Alaska, stakeholders to assess operations, develop interactive portal
A Mizzou Engineering team is working with the Port of Alaska and its stakeholders to assess freight and fuel truck operations and develop an interactive digital communication portal for improving visibility into Port operations. Sharan Srinivas, assistant professor of industrial and systems engineering, received funding from the Alaska Department of Transportation (AKDOT) for the two-pronged project.

Mizzou Engineering welcomes new faculty
Bio-inspired materials, sustainable energy, autonomic computing and advanced manufacturing are just a few of the areas of expertise new faculty members are bringing to Mizzou Engineering.

Mizzou empowers students to succeed in the ‘fourth industrial revolution’
University of Missouri researchers Jim Noble and Yi Wang are using a one-year, $1 million grant from the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development to create hands-on learning experiences in an Industry 4.0 lab to help future engineers thrive in the latest industrial revolution’s technology-centered job market.

Internship Spotlight: Dierker completes internship at the Connor Group
This summer, Jude Dierker has conducted an internship at the Connor Group. We asked him a few questions about his experience.

REU: Students study perspective analytics for AI-enabled operations engineering
Ten students spent 10 weeks at Mizzou Engineering this summer learning about artificial intelligence (AI) models and how to best analyze large data sets.

Mizzou Engineer outlines system to customize blood supply chain solutions
Blood supply chains can be complicated. On one hand, healthcare providers must make sure they have enough to meet demands, which can be unexpected. On the other hand, roughly 20 million donated platelets are discarded each year because they expire before they’re needed.

Industrial Engineering students present at national conference
Industrial Engineering students and faculty traveled to New Orleans last month to present research projects at the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) annual conference.

Industrial engineering students optimize healthcare systems for capstone project
Industrial engineering students this past semester developed a new model to improve patient flow at MU Health Care. The project was part of a capstone class, which allows seniors to wrap up their industrial engineering degrees by solving real-world problems.
