engineering education

Early- and mid-career scholars are invited to apply for the 2026–2027 Harrington Faculty Fellows Program, which will focus on energy research.

Part 2 of this two-part series focuses on the disciplines of drilling engineering and production engineering.

The university's new undergraduate program in natural gas, renewables, and oil engineering will train students in both traditional oil and gas cirricula and renewable energy.

Geothermal energy currently supplies less than 1% of US power but could reach approximately 10% with enhanced systems if well integrity challenges are solved, positioning it as a key player in a net-zero 2050 grid.

The universities are forming a national hub focused on advancing safe and reliable subsurface storage of energy-related fluids.

Ganesh Thakur and George K. Wong will study deepwater Gulf of Mexico reservoirs to advance reservoir simulation and statistical analysis to evaluate production strategies, compare reservoir parameters, and improve recovery estimates.

The curriculum covers topics such as geochemical and technological removal methods, life cycle assessments, and storage solutions.

The semi-pilot system uses custom membranes and catalysts to release hydrogen from liquid organic hydrogen carriers at low temperatures, reducing energy use and costs compared with current high-temperature methods.

Founding dean of Missouri S&T’s Kummer College, James D. Sterling, sat down with Joshua Schlegel, associate professor and associate chair of nuclear engineering and radiation science, to discuss why nuclear power is making a comeback and what its resurgence means for the future of energy.

The free, 1-day symposium will bring together graduate students, faculty, and industry leaders dedicated to advancing research, career growth, and energy innovation.
