Aerospace StudiesAir Force ROTC

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) isadministered by the Department of Aerospace Studies .The mission of Air Force ROTC is to develop qualityleaders for the Air Force. As the largest source of AirForce officers, Air Force ROTC offers a number ofopportunities for Missouri S&T students who wish tobecome commissioned officers by offering professional,academic, and military training. Leadership,communication, and basic military skills are the focus ofthe ROTC program. In addition to helping a student

Aerospace Studies — 59

succeed during college, Air Force ROTC also fosters self-confidence and self-discipline.

Opportunities in the Air Force are excellent, withover 100 possible career fields available. Career fieldavailability depends on academic discipline, medicalcondition, desires of the individual, and needs of the AirForce. As newly commissioned Second Lieutenants onactive duty, Air Force ROTC graduates can serveworldwide, performing challenging and rewarding dutiesin highly technical, scientific, and operational areas. Afew of these include design, research, engineering,systems development, space operations, computerscience, procurement, flying, management, acquisitions,and maintenance.

Although Air Force ROTC is set up as a four-yearprogram, students can choose a four, three and a half, orthree year course of study. The first two years of theprogram, called the General Military Course (GMC),cover basic introductory military topics as well ascommunication and leadership. The final two years of theprogram, called the Professional Officer Course (POC),cover topics such as leadership, management, doctrine,international events, quality, communication, andofficership. In addition to the academic ROTC class, allcadets attend a two hour leadership laboratory eachweek and two hours of physical training. Leadershiplaboratory provides cadets with the knowledge andpractical command and staff leadership experience inpreparation for active duty as Air Force officers. It islargely cadet planned, directed, and centered.

Scholarships, which may cover up to full tuition andfees, based on residency are available to qualifiedcadets. A monthly stipend is given during the academicyear to each cadet on scholarship and also to membersof the POC. Students who receive an AFROTC scholarshipalso receive an annual $2000 supplement from MissouriS&T. Lastly, scholarship recipients receive a $900/yearbook allowance to offset costs. ROTC scholarshiprecipients are eligible to receive other Missouri S&Tscholarships. Students do not have to be on ascholarship to complete our program and be an Air Forceofficer.

There is no obligation connected in taking Air ForceROTC for a non-scholarship cadet during the freshmanand sophomore years. Obligations begin only at thestart of a student’s last two years of the program orafter a ROTC scholarship is awarded and activated.

Students usually attend summer field training priorto their junior year, before enrollment into the POC.Entrance into the POC is based on an extensiveevaluation and selection process during the student’ssophomore year. Cadets who complete the POC in goodstanding and earn their academic degree arecommissioned as second lieutenants and serve on activeduty for four or more years, depending on their selectedAir Force career field. Pilots incur a ten-year active dutyservice commitment after completing undergraduatepilot training. Navigators incur a eight-year active dutyservice commitment after completing undergraduatenavigator training.

The Air Force ROTC unit at Missouri S&T is organizedas an objective wing, with associate groups, squadrons,and flights. Freshmen and sophomore cadets areassigned to one of the flights. They receive instructionfrom POC cadets in basic military customs andcourtesies, drill movements, and many other facets ofAir Force operations. Additionally, they are offered theopportunity to visit Air Force bases and discuss careeropportunities with Air Force members. Junior and seniorcadets are assigned and rotated through variousleadership positions, gaining experience inmanagement procedures.

Ceramic EngineeringBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of Philosophy

The Ceramic Engineering program is offered underthe Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

Ceramic engineers produce materials vital to manyadvanced and traditional technologies: electronic andoptical assemblies, aerospace parts, biomedicalcomponents, nuclear components, high temperature,corrosion resistant assemblies, fuel cells, and electronicpackaging. Ceramic engineers generally work withinorganic, nonmetallic materials processed at hightemperatures. In the classroom, ceramic engineeringstudents learn the relationships between engineeringproperties and the chemistry and structure of ceramicmaterials and go on to apply these scientific principlesto the design of new formulations and manufacturingprocesses. If you are interested in the “why” behindmaterial properties, ceramic engineering will definitelyinterest you.

Ceramic engineering usually appeals to those whohave a strong interest in finding practical applications ofthe basic sciences, especially chemistry and physics,and can be described as one of the disciplines where‘science and engineering intersect’. Design occurs at theatomic or microstructural level of solid materials. TheMissouri S&T department of ceramic engineeringspecializes in glass and optical materials, electronicmaterials, and high temperature materials, but thesame scientific and engineering principles that arelearned can be applied to the design of new materialsfor other applications, including biomaterials, highstrength materials, materials for energy generation,etc.

Most ceramic engineering classes and laboratoriesare held in McNutt Hall, but other research laboratories

Chemistry is the study of the elements, thecompounds they form and the reactions they undergo.

The program of study encompasses the full rangeof the subject plus mathematics, physics, and, ifdesired, biology. Students may also pursue specialinterests such as analytical, biological, electrochemical,environmental, inorganic, nuclear, organic, physical orpolymer chemistry.

The B.A. offers a general education degree with achemistry focus. The B.A. degree may be appropriatefor students in pre-professional programs (pre-medicine, pre-veterinary, pre-dentistry, pre-pharmacy,chemical sales and marketing).

Chemists tackle a broad range of challenges, fromenvironmental cleanup and pollution prevention tocreating the materials that will take humans to Mars. ABachelor’s degree in Chemistry will provide many careerpossibilities. It has been called the central sciencebecause it occupies a pivotal place in many disciplines.As such it serves as the foundation for many otherprofessions such as medicine, biotechnology, ceramics,chemical engineering, polymers, materials, metallurgyand environmental sciences.

All students are encouraged to participate in researchprograms during their undergraduate career. Suchparticipation can lead to valuable experience and thepossibility of publications, awards and recognition in thechemistry work place. Students may opt to participate inthe campus wide “Opportunities for UndergraduateResearch Experience” (OURE). Through OURE they canreceive academic credit and a stipend for conducting aresearch project of mutual interest to the student and afaculty member.

Schrenk Hall is home to the department and wheremost chemistry classes and laboratories are held. Thedepartment has a broad range of modern instrumentationand equipment to prepare the student for the future.

Civil EngineeringBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of PhilosophyDoctor of EngineeringEmphasis areas at all levels in constructionengineering, environmental engineering, waterresources engineering, geotechnical engineering,structural engineering, materials engineering andtransportation engineering.

Civil engineers plan, design, and superviseconstruction of many essential facilities and structuressuch as bridges, dams, interstate highways, andbuildings. Service to the community, its developmentand improvement are fundamental aspects of a civilengineering career. Civil engineers are problem solversapplying the latest in high-tech equipment andsophisticated procedures to address challengesconcerning our environment and infrastructure.

Included in the study of civil engineering arecourses in environmental engineering that are directlyrelated to the solution of hazardous waste and pollutionproblems, to providing potable and economical watersupply systems, and to maintaining a safe environment.Water resources engineering is related to hydraulic andhydrologic engineering, flood control, rainfall, andrunoff prediction and the transport in flows. Studies ingeotechnical engineering address the bearing capacitiesof soils, settlement of foundations, and the design ofboth deep and shallow foundations. Courses instructural analysis and design are directed towardproviding reliable and economical structures such asbridges, buildings, port facilities, and intricate lock anddam facilities. The principles involved in this sequenceof courses are also applicable to the design ofautomobiles, aircraft, spacecraft, and future spacestructures. Transportation engineering involves themovement of people and cargo from place to place, thedesign of airports and highways, and traffic studies tomaintain efficient flows. Courses in constructionengineering include studies in construction techniques,cost estimating, quality control/quality assurance, andcontract administration. Materials engineering involvesthe production, quality control, use, and propertyanalysis of construction materials such as asphalt,concrete, aggregate, wood, masonry, and steel.

Civil engineering is a broad field of endeavor.Because of this breadth, courses are required in each ofthe above areas. Although you, as a civil engineer, mayspecialize within a given area, by the very nature of theprofession you will be required to interact withspecialists in the other areas. You also may find that youwill work with engineers in other disciplines such asmechanical, electrical, or geological engineering in theplanning, design, and construction of complex facilities.

Civil engineers also must be effective incommunicating with the public. You may be expected towork with property owners, concerned citizens, city

98 — Civil Engineering

officials, attorneys, and even medical doctors forconcerns related to public health measures.

The results of your work as a civil engineer will beseen everywhere. Projects in which you will becomeinvolved must be economical, provide an adequatefactor of safety for the particular use, and provide areasonable life expectancy. To do this adequately andwithin a reasonable time frame, you will find that, withthe exception of your engineering training, thecomputer is one of the most important and valuabletools you will use to produce a proper design or tocomplete a specific project. You may expect that yourcourses taken in civil engineering will require the use ofcomputer hardware and software related to the differentareas of study.

The Computer Engineering Program is designed toprepare an engineer to work with software andhardware of computers. In the software world, highlevel languages and complex programs are often thesolution to a problem. In the hardware world, designsalso include many aspects of the physical world, liketemperature or noise, and often must includecompromises between many opposing factors. Theability of a computer engineer to work in both worlds iswhat distinguishes them from a computer scientist orfrom an electrical engineer who specializes in

computers. Computer scientists typically have littletraining with hardware. Electrical engineers typicallyhave little training with software. Our students aretrained to work with both, since many computersystems cannot be built well without a clearunderstanding of both.

Computer engineers can be found just aboutanywhere there are computers. Computer engineersmight build the integrated circuits (ICs) that go intoyour home video game or your cell phone. They mightdevelop the microprocessor that goes into your homecomputer, deciding what instructions it executes andhow it interfaces with memory. Computer engineersalso build computer systems that use these integratedcircuits – for example, they might put together the ICsto build the motherboard for your home computer or thevideo card that goes into that computer. Computerengineers also help computers work together, forexample developing computer networks or working withparallel processing. Computer engineers also help buildembedded computer systems. These are devices with acomputer inside them that work directly with theirenvironment. They could be as complicated as asatellite or as everyday as your car, your phone, or evenyour microwave oven. Computer engineers also buildsoftware. They might be found at companies likeMicrosoft, working strictly with software or helpingcomplex software systems interface better withhardware. They might make computer “smarter” usingconcepts of computational intelligence. Since computersare such an important part of our lives, the options forcomputer engineers are wide open.

Our ABET-accredited Computer EngineeringProgram emphasizes both hands-on experience andtraining in fundamental concepts and theory. Studentsparticipate in many laboratories that include bothhardware and software. Many lecture courses includeone or more projects that require the student to buildsomething “real” and make it work. All students take a1-year design course for this reason in their final year inthe program. While these projects are challenging, theyare also fun and prepare a student to performimmediately on the job when they get out of school.Coursework also concentrates strongly on theory andfundamentals because this background is essential forour students to fully understand the systems they willwork on to quickly learn new concepts as their jobfunction changes and to adapt to the rapidly changingworld of computers in the future.

Students complete the Freshman EngineeringProgram, thus obtaining basic science skills and anoverview of the various degree programs at MissouriS&T, before entering the main program. This allowsstudents time to consider different career options beforethey commit to a given degree program.The ComputerEngineering Program includes several courses in bothElectrical Engineering and Computer Science. TheProgram follows the Electrical Engineering Program intothe sophomore year, including courses like circuits andelectronics, and then branches into computer sciencecourses such as data structures and operating systems.

Students work closely with their advisors tocarefully plan each semester class schedule in order tohave the correct prerequisites for courses in thefollowing semesters. Working with their advisor, theyshould also select electives in the program to providethe background in areas they wish to emphasize fortheir career path.

Double majors – particularly with ElectricalEngineering or Computer Science – are a possibility.Students working with their advisor should be able toplan a program that allows them to quickly graduatewith more than one degree by sharing some electivesand carefully planning additional course work. Studentsconsidering taking several more classes should alsoconsider the alternative of working towards an MS orPh.D. degree in graduate school.

Computer ScienceBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of Philosophy

The Computer Science Department educatesstudents in a broad range of areas. Students take coursesin the design and implementation of software systemsand the algorithms (problem solving techniques) used tosolve “real world” problems in business, industry, andengineering or as preparation for graduate study.Students are given both the depth and breadth ofcomputer science so necessary to keep them competitivein today’s fast-changing world. While instruction andresearch are on the leading edge of computing, thedepartment endeavors to keep class sizes small topromote proactive teaching practices and effectiveinteractions between the students and faculty.

In addition to computer science courses, thedepartment’s undergraduate program requires studentsto be educated in a broad range of general educationcourses. All computer science seniors are expected totake the capstone course that gives them “real world”experience working in teams composed of fellow studentsand practicing computer scientists. These teams design,implement, test, and maintain actual software systems.(The sample curriculum shown below provides moredetail.)

The Computer Science faculty has a broad range ofscholarly interests which include computer security,databases and wireless systems, intelligent systems(artificial intelligence, machine learning, evolutionarycomputation), data mining, bioinformatics, parallel anddistributed processing, software engineering, computernetworks, scientific visualization, computational science,and algorithms. The research being done in these areasinvolves both undergraduates and graduates andsupports the department’s three major areas ofexcellence: software lifecycle, critical infrastructureprotection, and bioinformatics. Faculty are not onlyactively doing research in these areas; they integratetheir research experiences into the classroom.

EconomicsBachelor of Arts in EconomicsBachelor of Science in EconomicsMaster of Arts in Economics

Master of Arts available as a cooperativedegree program with the Economics Departmentof the University of Missouri-St. Louis. A maximumof 12 graduate semester hours may be taken atMissouri S&T.

Economics has been called the “science of scarcity.”It is the study of how individuals allocate scarceresources for production in order to satisfy their humanneeds and wants. This focus on the human conditionplaces economics firmly into the social sciences area.However the application of economic principles toproblems of choice in markets and in financial decision-making also gives economics a central role in the theoryof business administration and management.

The Missouri S&T Economics Department offers arelevant business-oriented educational experience whilemaintaining the social science flavor of the traditionaleconomics degree. The curriculum is based on a broadfoundational core, Business and Information andTechnology. Students majoring in economics also takeup to 33 hours of economics, finance, and managementcourses.

The Economics courses are taught rigorously andare technically-oriented. They also provide a solid socialscience education with studies of the social problems ofmarket failure, monopoly, inflation, and theeffectiveness of government economic and social policy.Graduated students have an excellent education withjob opportunities across the spectrum includingbusiness, finance, study of the law, government andpublic policy.

The economics program allows for the flexibility ofselecting either the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor ofScience programs, depending on which best fits yourgoals and skills. Either degree will provide you with thenecessary skills to compete effectively in the job marketor succeed in graduate school.

Students wishing to minor in economics may selectfrom a variety of courses tailored to their own needs.Specific tracks are available in energy/technology andinternational economics.

Students majoring in an academic area at MissouriS&T other than economics can pursue a secondary B.A.or B.S. in economics to accompany their primary major.See the department chair of economics for more detailson this academic option.

The Missouri S&T Economics Department has inplace a cooperative Bachelor of Science/Master ofScience in Accounting with the College of Business andPublic Administration at the University of Missouri-Columbia. A student can take at Missouri S&T up to 90hours of the 150 hours required for the BS/MS inaccounting. The remaining 60 hours must be taken atColumbia. After completing the 90 hours at Missouri

S&T, the student must take the GRE exam and beadmitted into the UMC graduate program.

EnvironmentalEngineeringBachelor of ScienceMaster of Science

Environmental engineers uphold the dual goals ofminimizing our impact on the local, regional, and globalenvironment and concurrently improving our standardof living. In this role of preserving environmental andpublic well being, environmental engineers face uniqueissues and must have a strong background in thefundamental earth sciences in order to understandcomplex environmental problems and then pose anddesign appropriate engineering solutions. As problemsolvers for something as diverse as “the environment,”environmental engineers also need to understand themost current technologies used in practice and have adesire to maintain a high level of learning in this rapidlyevolving field.

The environmental engineering work place isdiverse. Consulting firms represent a large portion ofthe work force and many specialize in areas of drinkingwater and wastewater treatment. Drinking water andwastewater treatment are cornerstones of theenvironmental engineering field, and students'education in these areas is thorough. Turning river, lake,or even sea water into drinking water is a uniqueexpertise and takes great understanding as each watersource offers distinctive challenges. Air pollution hasbecome a great concern on scales ranging from theglobal atmosphere to the indoor environment. From afundamental understanding of the chemistry anddynamics of air pollution, students learn how humanactivities degrade air quality and also how to evaluateand design control technology to reduce emissions fromindustry and other sources. The geology of a locationgreatly impacts its water resources, and comprehensionof hydrogeology is important to an environmentalengineer. The amount and quality of water a geologicformation can produce can predicate development in anarea, and subsurface hydrology is the most criticalaspect in remediation of contaminated groundwater.The recent push for sustainable infrastructure in termsof energy and environment is yet another challenge thatenvironmental engineers will have the opportunity toaddress in their careers.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, statedepartments of natural resources, departments ofhealth, and the U.S. Departments of Energy andDefense all have positions that require a wide array ofskills and expertise. The courses and skills learned as anundergraduate student also provide preparation forgraduate studies and advanced leadership roles. Manyspecialized positions require a graduate education.

Within the Missouri S&T Environmental EngineeringProgram, elective courses can focus the curriculum inWater and Wastewater Resources Engineering; Geo-Environmental Engineering; Air Pollution and Control;Environmental Chemistry and Processes; andEnvironmental Microbiology and Processes. Some

150 — Environmental Engineering

courses are required in each of these areas to providebreadth, which allows graduates to interact with thewide range of professionals in this particularlyinterdisciplinary field. Project teams may include healthcare professionals, city planners, developers, and alltypes of engineers. Additionally, the ever-developingfield of environmental engineering is saturated withlegal issues, many of which are yet to have precedentsor legal statutes established.

Many courses include laboratory exercises in theEnvironmental Engineering Program Laboratories in theCivil Engineering Building. In addition to teachinglaboratories, the laboratory facilities include a pilot-scale unit-operations laboratory, temperature controlfacilities, a roof-top greenhouse, and state of the artanalytical facilities. Undergraduate-level research isencouraged and promotes participation inenvironmental research carried out, largely in theEnvironmental Research Center. In summary, thediverse curricula, interdisciplinary faculty, and superbfacilities afford students an excellent opportunity for anunparalleled education and prepare them for a brightfuture of solving tomorrow’s problems in environmentalengineering.
