Constructing a community: White earns mechanical engineering degree

For Mackenzie White, a soon-to-be mechanical engineering graduate, family is very important. At Mizzou, she says she found herself a part of something bigger. Read a Q&A with her about her Mizzou Engineering experience.

New faculty Postcard

Expanding discovery

Mizzou Engineering is growing its faculty, bringing in experts from a variety of emerging areas to conduct leading-edge research. From sustainable energy to computer vision, our researchers are poised to create a better world, through engineering.

The multidisciplinary team consists of faculty from Mechanical Engineering (Matt Maschmann), Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (Matthias Young, Sheila Grant and David Grant) and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Jianlin Cheng [not pictured], James Keller, Filiz Bunyak and Prasad Calyam).

Accelerating materials discovery

Mizzou Engineers are partnering with Arizona State University, Brewer Science and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), to increase the efficiency of materials development by using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to model and test new materials. Mizzou's research is supported by a $1.87 million grant, sponsored by Arizona State University.
