MU’s Cheng utilizing deep learning expertise for key federal biofuel project

Mizzou Engineering’s Jianlin Cheng has put his world-class protein prediction skills to stellar use in the field of healthcare, and now, he’s part of a critical effort in bioenergy — one that could dramatically improve the prospects of biofuels as fossil fuel reserves dwindle.

Camp COE helps Mizzou Engineers build sense of community

The concept of Camp COE — the first-ever Mizzou Engineering camp for freshmen, international and first-year graduate and transfer students — was to build a community students could grow with throughout their careers at MU. Year one was a rousing success.

New Student BBQ helps engineers find community

Peace Park was filled with the smell of hamburgers and the chatter of excited freshmen as they got to know their new family at the College of Engineering. The New Student BBQ on Thursday evening was, according to Dean Elizabeth Loboa, the largest she had ever seen. She hoped the barbecue gave new students the opportunity to get to know the College more and build lasting connections.

MU Engineering’s Lang, Wan attend key bioeconomy conference

Mizzou Engineering undergraduate Kyle Lang and faculty mentor Caixia Wan were among the 928 attendees from 34 countries and 42 states who descended on Des Moines, Iowa this summer for BIO World Congress 2019. This unique conference, focusing on the greater bioeconomy, presented the perfect venue for the first meeting of Cohort 3 of the Consortium for Advanced Bioeconomy Leadership Education (CABLE).

Bridge Program fosters success for first-year engineers

Transitioning to college is tough, and transitioning into a demanding major such as engineering is even tougher. That’s why Mizzou Engineering debuted its Engineering Success Bridge Program in 2018, then expanded it to a month-long program for 2019. The four-week-long camp gives students an idea of what to expect once their college journeys begin in earnest.

ASEE recognizes Mizzou Engineering for commitment to diversity, inclusion
