Lighting the way to safer driving
A team of MU Civil and Environmental Engineering researchers discovered as much when they studied response to different types of lights on what are called truck mounted attenuators (TMAs) in mobile work zones — for example, road striping zones. TMAs are attached to a construction vehicle and typically contain lights alerting drivers to upcoming work zones and additional items such as lane closures, upcoming lane mergers, etc.
Mizzou Engineers cap college experience with real-world opportunities
Advanced coursework and difficult problems challenge MU Engineering students throughout their undergraduate studies, but in senior capstone courses, they have the opportunity to apply all they’ve learned to real-world problems.
Mizzou Engineering Student Council lands key first-time achievement
Mizzou Engineering’s top Pillar of Pursuit — Educating Engineering Leaders — manifests itself in a multitude of ways. One way our students get world-class leadership skills is through the Mizzou Engineering Student Council (MESC), and two of its members recently built upon that foundation at the National Association of Engineering Student Councils’ (NAESC) Engineering Leadership Summit at Colorado State University.
Trio of engineers earn top MU academic honor
A trio of Mizzou Engineering students earned a University of Missouri Award for Academic Distinction recently in honor of their tremendous success in the classroom. The awardees, with their majors and faculty mentors, were Sarah Gebken, Luke Guerdan and Julie Nguyen.
A blueprint for Solar Decathlon success
For Megan Wahlquist, the moment of triumph wasn’t the award presentation. It wasn’t when she and her cohorts deftly answered every question from the panel of judges. It wasn’t even the round of congratulatory handshakes from industry professionals.
College honors next generation of engineering leaders
The University of Missouri College of Engineering recognized more than 500 graduate and undergraduate students for their academic success at the Spring 2019 Commencement Ceremony on Saturday at Mizzou Arena.
Commencement speaker’s Mizzou ties run deep
If there were a competition for Mr. Mizzou among alumni, Craig Lalumandier would have to be on a shortlist of finalists. So when he was asked to come home to Mizzou to give a commencement address for Mizzou Engineering, Lalumandier didn’t hesitate to say yes.
Graduate takes Mizzou Engineering’s ‘bridge to a higher level’
Mizzou Engineering seniors followed all kinds of paths to get to the same destination — Saturday’s commencement ceremony at Mizzou Arena. They come from a variety of backgrounds, have achieved success in different ways and have developed expertise in a multitude of areas.
Engineering’s Nguyen turns success into Gold(water)
Julie Nguyen is one of just 496 students nationwide to earn a prestigious scholarship from the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation.
Mizzou senior’s NSF Graduate Fellowship a dream achieved
As a freshman, Mizzou Engineering undergraduate Sarah Gebken set a lofty goal — earn a spot National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program her senior year. The NSF GRFP is the oldest fellowship in the nation supporting graduate research, and it provides funding for outstanding students pursuing research-based graduate degrees at accredited universities nationwide.
