We are committed to designing programs to help advance your career and enhance your depth of knowledge without interrupting your personal and professional life.
Experiential Learning
Hands On Experience
At Missouri S&T, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ditch your desk and get out of the classroom. In fact, we implore you to. Every undergraduate student must have some sort of experiential learning experience before they graduate - whether that means participating on a design team or a club sports team, joining a student organization or doing research with renowned faculty. With so many opportunities, you’re sure to find something that interests you. And we’ll help!
Undergraduate Research
Regardless of your major, you can expect to do significant research. Our Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience program gives you the chance to work alongside your favorite professor on a meaningful research project. Recent examples include research on how trees can remove pollutants from the ground (phytoremediation), how nanoparticles could more efficiently deliver medicine through the body, and how smartphones could be used to improve emergency response systems.
Build Your Skills in a Design Team
Ask any alum of one of our more than 20 student design teams and they’ll tell you the best, most rewarding experiences they had at Missouri S&T were spent with their design team. Design team membership is multi-disciplinary and open to, and encouraged of, students of any major, interest or background.
