Your donation's impact:

Supporting student travel to professional conferences and social engagement opportunities within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology has a lasting impact on student success. Conference participation allows students to present research, build professional networks, and explore career pathways, while social events foster community, collaboration, and a sense of belonging that enhances retention and well-being. Your generous support will directly empower our students to grow as scholars and professionals, ensuring they have access to transformative experiences that extend far beyond the classroom.

We had a great time hosting local boy scouts for a hands-on aluminum pour! Each participant created cast aluminum neck ties with the Scout emblem. The molds were 3D printed in our foundry, giving participants a unique look at how modern technology and traditional metalworking come together.

Thank you to Dr. Laura Bartlett and our American Foundry Society S&T chapter for making this an incredible event!

The MSE Department wrapped up a fun giving challenge to support the Phelps County Dream Center! 🎉 Students and faculty from Metallurgical Engineering faced off against Ceramic and Semiconductor Engineering to see who could collect the most canned goods and donations.

Metallurgical Engineering won, which meant a ceramic professor and student got pied in the face!

Thanks to everyone who donated and helped make a difference in our community!

We are very proud of our students who took 1st place at the 2025 American Society for Metals Geodesic Dome Design Competition. ⭐ Teams designed and built domes that were judged and tested under the compression machine. 💪

The MSE Department Social was filled with energy, laughter, and plenty of fall spirit. 🍂 Families joined us for a fun-filled afternoon featuring an inflatable racecourse, outdoor games, candy galore, and a cozy firepit to warm up by. Events like these remind us what makes MSE so special — the people! Thank you to everyone who came out, brought your families, and made the day one to remember!

This event is open to the public! Show up early and have more time to work on your project! 🔨
Meet at McNutt Hall, 1400 N. Bishop Avenue, Rolla, MO, 65409

Congratulations to Carson A. Nuernberger and Ashton W. Ventura on receiving the 2025-2026 Steel Intern Scholarship from AIST Foundation! Both completed internships at Nucor Steel-Berkeley in Huger, South Carolina.

Our students enjoyed talking with company representatives and each other during our first Ice Cream Social.

Free public event to learn about metallurgical engineering!
