Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T or S&T) is a public research university in Rolla, Missouri. It is a member institution of the University of Missouri System. Most of its 6,456 students (2023)[7] study engineering, business, sciences, and mathematics. Known primarily for its engineering school, Missouri S&T offers degree programs in business and management systems, information science and technology, sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts. It is classified as a "STEM-dominant", R2 doctoral university with "high research activity".[13]

History

Engineering and agricultural education was a rarity in American higher education in 1860, but that changed dramatically in 1862, when the Morrill Land-Grant Acts passed Congress. The law gave generous deeds of public land to states that created schools with programs in engineering and scientific agriculture. Debates over the Civil War and reconstruction slowed progress in Missouri, but finally in 1870 the obvious importance of mining in the state, as well as agriculture, forced the legislature to create the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in Rolla as part of the state system, and a new agricultural program at the University of Missouri in Columbia.[14]

It became the first technological learning institution west of the Mississippi River. Early in its history, the School of Mines was focused primarily on mining and metallurgy. Rolla is located close to the Southeast Missouri Lead District which produces about 70% of the U.S. primary supply of lead as well as significant amounts of the nation's zinc.[15]

The school was founded under the auspices of the University of Missouri in Columbia in order to take advantage of the Morrill Land-Grant Acts to "teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the legislatures of the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life." The act endowed Missouri a federal land grant of 30,000 acres for each of the state's two senators and nine representatives at the time—or 3300002NaN2. The endowment said that the land could not be sold for less than $1.25/acre and as such was a minimum endowment of $412,500 for Missouri. There was an intense debate in the state over the location and number of schools before it was finally decided to have one school in Columbia and a branch in the mining area of southeast Missouri.[16]

Iron County (Ironton) and Phelps County (Rolla) made bids for the school, with Phelps County winning in 1870.[16] Classes began on November 23, 1871, in a new building that the city of Rolla had just built. The college had an enrollment of 28 undergraduates and three graduates in 1874.[16] The college bought what is now called the "Rolla Building" for $25,000 in January 1875. Following a $2 million renovation in 1995, that building is now used as the Mathematics and Statistics Department's library, chair's office, part of the main office, and other faculty offices.[17]

Initially, the school only offered degrees in civil engineering, metallurgy, and mining engineering. However, by the late 1920s, the school had added degrees in ceramic engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.[18] The school became home to Missouri's first operational nuclear reactor in 1961.[19]

In 2018, the school was approved by the state's Coordinating Board for Higher Education for designation as "highly selective" in its undergraduate admission criteria, joining only Truman State University among the state's public universities at that level. As such, first-time, full-time students seeking degrees are generally only admitted if they have a "percentile score" of 140 points or greater, a combination of their high school class and college testing (ACT or SAT) percentile ranks.[20] Missouri Department of Higher Education guidelines state that schools in this category may admit up to ten percent of students with lower percentile scores, and will automatically admit those with an ACT (or equivalent SAT) score of 27 or better.[21]

Chancellors

The naming structure for the head of the university has changed reflecting its changes through the years. The head currently reports to the University of Missouri System.[22] [23]

The chancellor lives on campus at the Chancellor's Residence. It was constructed in 1889 as the "Club House" dormitory, then converted to a room house before becoming the Missouri State Geological Survey headquarters and finally the residence for the then-director in 1905.[24]

Mohammad Dehghani of Stevens Institute of Technology began his service as chancellor in 2019.[25] Dehghani had previously held leadership positions at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Applied Physics Laboratory, and the Johns Hopkins University Systems Institute, at which he was a founding director.[26]

Military service

Military service has long been a tradition at the college. Beginning with the American Civil War, students and faculty have served in all major American conflicts.[33]

Civil War

Three individuals: James Abert, George D. Emerson, and Robert W. Douthat served in the American Civil War and as faculty.

World War One

When the United States entered WWI in April, 1917, a total of 65 members of the university, students and faculty, entered into the service for First Officers Training Camp.[34] Almost half of the enrolled student population was involved in The Great War in some capacity, as the total enrollment was 186, down from 301 students. In total, nine men from the university sacrificed their lives. Two men received the Distinguished Service Cross from General John J. Pershing.[35] One man, H. F. Allison, is credited with the first shot fired in France from a member of the American Expeditionary Force.

Inter-war years

In 1920, the college started its Reserve Officer Training Corps.[36] An integral part of university life, at least half of all students made ROTC a part of their curriculum from 1924 to 1940. Of the 931 students enrolled in 1940, 534 were also ROTC Cadets.

WWII

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, students sought to immediately enlist.[37] The 1941–42 administration, including Curtis Laws Wilson, instead encouraged the student body to finish their training as that would make them more useful to the military.

Changes in hierarchy and name

Until 1964, the school was considered an offsite department of MU's School of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, reporting to the main campus in Columbia (although it began fielding sports teams in 1935 in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association). As such, its presiding officer was originally called a director (1871–1941), then a dean (1941–1964).[38] In 1963 the University of Missouri System was created with the additions of standalone campuses in Kansas City and St. Louis. A year later, MSM was upgraded to an autonomous standalone campus as the University of Missouri at Rolla and its presiding officer, like that of its sister schools, was granted the title of chancellor. The curriculum was expanded to include most of the science and engineering disciplines, as well as social sciences and liberal arts such as psychology and history. In 1968, the campus name was slightly altered to the University of Missouri–Rolla, thus conforming to the naming scheme of the other three campuses. Business and management programs were gradually added in the following years. On January 1, 2008, UMR became known as Missouri University of Science and Technology or Missouri S&T for short.[39]

In making the case for changing the name, then Chancellor John F. Carney III noted that Rolla in 2007 was "one of the few technological research universities in the nation. A technological research university (polytechnic university or institute of technology) may be defined as one in which a majority of students are enrolled in engineering, the sciences, business or mathematics; the graduate and research programs in those fields are robust; and exceptional academic programs in the liberal arts, humanities and social sciences complement and provide context to the technological strengths of the institution."

He noted that more than 70 percent of its enrollment was in engineering and more than 90 percent was in engineering, business, science and math—significantly higher than engineering schools such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He noted "The university's name, however, does not reflect the distinctive nature of the campus. Often, UMR is viewed as a 'satellite' or 'branch' campus due to its name or as a 'feeder' campus for the University of Missouri-Columbia (commonly referred to as the University of Missouri). This branch-campus designation hinders many of our efforts to achieve national recognition and a strong reputation as a technological research university."[40] [41]

He noted, "Of the 1.1 million seniors in the nation who took the ACT in 2006, only 551 non-Missouri seniors – or .05 percent – sent their scores to UMR." He also noted that the school's acronym of UMR got it confused with the University of Minnesota Rochester.[40]

Among the other names that were considered were Missouri University of Science and Engineering, Missouri Technological University, and Missouri Science and Engineering University.[41]

Historic $300 million gift

In October 2020, the university received the largest single gift to any university, public or private, in the state of Missouri. The $300 million gift from June and Fred Kummer established a new foundation to establish the Kummer Institute for Student Success, Research and Economic Development. The gift also will establish a new college of innovation and entrepreneurship at Missouri S&T, develop new areas for research, provide scholarships and fellowships for students, and bolster the Rolla region's economy.[42]

Campus

Altman Hall

Originally a dormitory building, Altman Hall now houses student and university organizations including the KMNR radio station, the Missouri Miner student newspaper, the Rollamo yearbook, the SPECTRUM campus organization in support of sexual orientations and gender identities, and a ResLife residential life downtown campus office.[43] The building is named after William Altman, an alumnus killed in World War II.

Bertelsmeyer Hall

Bertelsmeyer Hall is located at the intersection of 11th street and State Street.[44] It was named after James E. Bertelsmeyer (BS ChemE 1966), who contributed $5 million towards its construction.[45] The building was dedicated in 2014 and is the current home of the Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Department.

Castleman Hall

Castleman Hall, completed in 1991, is a 55000square feet home for the alumni and development offices, and the music and theater departments. Featuring a 660-seat performing arts center, the building occupies the city block between Main and State Streets, and Tenth and Eleventh Streets.[46] The alumni and music offices had been in Harris Hall since the 1970s.[47]

Curtis Laws Wilson Library

The Curtis Laws Wilson Library is the main academic library on campus.[48] Wilson served as dean of the school from 1941 to 1963.

The basement of the library is home to several campus organizations, including:

Farrar Hall

Farrar Hall served for decades as a dormitory building and was used as quarantine housing during the COVID-19 pandemic.[52] In June 2022, the marketing and communications office reported its relocation to Farrar Hall.[53] In July 2023, the building became a temporary home for the graduate education office.[54] Farrar Hall is named after university alumnus William Farrar who was killed in World War II.

Harris Hall

Harris Hall opened in 1940 after Director William Chedsey was able to secure $80,000 from the Works Progress Administration and $50,000 in state funding.[55] Harris Hall housed the Civil degree program for nearly two decades. As of April 2021, parts of the building are used by the Army ROTC Stonehenge Battalion, and Air Force ROTC Detachment 442.[56] [57] The building is named after Elmo Golightly Harris, one of the university's first directors, and the first chair of the department of civil engineering. Harris also led the first class held in the building.[58]

Leach Theatre

Leach Theatre is located in Castleman Hall and has a maximum seating capacity of 650 audience members. The theatre was opened in 1991 and hosts approximately 100 events each academic year, including touring performances of groups such as the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, the Russian National Ballet, Stomp, as well as off-Broadway shows such as Cats, Evita, and 42nd Street.[59]

Millennium Arch

The university developed a new way to make deep cuts in granite and worked with artist Edwina Sandys who used the method to create the Millennium Arch sculpture. The Arch is a single trilithon with the stylized silhouettes of a man and a woman cut from the two uprights. The figures cut from the uprights stand nearby as freestanding statues. The work, which is located on 10th Street facing Castleman Hall, was developed as a project of the High Pressure Waterjet Laboratory of the Rock Mechanics & Explosive Research Center at Missouri S&T.

Missouri S&T Stonehenge

Missouri S&T Stonehenge is a partial reconstruction of the original Stonehenge monument located on Salisbury Plain, in southern England. Missouri S&T's version of the ancient structure is located on the northwest corner of campus, and was dedicated on June 20, 1984, during the summer solstice. It features a 50feet diameter ring of 30 stones around a horseshoe of five trilithons through which various sightings of sunrise and sunset can be made. About 160 tons of granite were used to construct the monument. The rock was cut by Missouri S&T's water jet cutter equipment, which used two waterjets cutting at a pressure of 15,000 pounds of force per square inch (103 MPa), slicing across the surface just like a conventional saw. The cutter moved at a speed of about 10 feet per minute (50 mm/s) and cut between one-quarter and one-half inch (6 and 13 mm) on each pass.[60]

After completion, Missouri S&T Stonehenge received an award from the National Society of Professional Engineers for being one of 1985's Ten Outstanding Engineering Achievements.[61]

Nuclear reactor

See main article: Missouri University of Science and Technology Nuclear Reactor.

The school operates the 200 kW Missouri S&T nuclear reactor on-campus for educational, training, and research purposes.[62] It became the first nuclear reactor to have become operational in Missouri, and first achieved criticality in 1961.[63]

Parker Hall

The construction of Parker Hall was completed in 1912. The building housed the campus library until the opening of the Curtis Laws Wilson Library. Parker Hall is one of three buildings (the Rolla Building and Norwood Hall being the other two) that are from the school's first 50 years.[64] As of April 2021, Parker Hall holds the Visitor Center, Admissions Office, Registrar, Student Financial Assistance, Accounting and Cashier's Office, and administrative offices.[65]

Jack Carney Puck and Plaza

The Jack Carney Puck and Plaza is a small, circular stage in the center of the campus.[66] It is used for many student events, and is particularly active during St. Patrick's Day festivities. Reconstruction of the area around the Puck began in late 2020 to renovate the landmark in honor of former Chancellor John F. "Jack" Carney III.[67]

Schrenk Hall

Built in 1938, Schrenk Hall is home to the Chemistry and Biological Sciences departments. The building's west wing was added in 1973.[68] Walter T. Schrenk, after whom the building is named, was a chemistry professor from 1923 to 1961 and a former department chair.

Solar Village

Officially opened in December 2010,[69] the Solar Village consists of four entries by Missouri S&T in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon.[70] Students, staff, faculty, and donors of Missouri S&T designed, constructed, and competed homes in each of the first four Decathlons including the Solar House in 2002,[71] the Prairie House in 2005,[72] the Solar House in 2007,[73] and the Show-Me House in 2009.[74] In 2012, the Solar Village was one of two highlights in a video short that won recognition from Second Nature and a Climate Leadership Award for the campus.[75] In 2014, the Solar Village was expanded to include a microgrid system and an electric car charging station,[76] and in 2016, Missouri S&T announced a second, EcoVillage, composed of Decathlon entries including the 2013 Chameleon House and the 2015 Nest Home.[77]

Straumanis-James Hall

Straumanis-James Hall houses the Missouri S&T Materials Research Center. The building, which honors Dr. Martin E. Straumanis and Dr. William “Bill” James, includes about 30,000 square feet of laboratory and office space. Research conducted here led directly to the founding of two successful companies – Brewer Science and Mo-Sci. Patents for research conducted in Straumanis-James Hall produce more than 90% of the campus revenue from licensing.[78]

Kummer Student Design Center

The Kummer Design Center was dedicated on May 20, 2011. It was named after Fred and June Kummer who donated $1.25 million of the $2.75 million project, which was funded entirely by private gifts to the university.[79] Fred Kummer is an alumnus of the university. The Kummer Design Center was initially a 23000sqfoot building. The building formerly housed the Student Rec Center, and before that it was a Holsum Bread Bakery.

The Kummer Design Center is located at 1051 N Bishop Avenue in Rolla, and is home to the SDELC,[80] short for Student Design and Experiential Learning Center. The SDELC contains offices, a conference room, a machine shop, labs, a computer lab, and an iGEM lab.[81] Twenty of the university's design teams are housed inside of the SDELC.[82] There are approximately twelve hundred students involved on said design teams,[83] and they have 24/7 access to the design center.[84] These students get to use their experiences on the design teams for the university-required experiential learning.[85] The Kummer Design Center is also home to American Pie Company and Spoon Me (frozen yogurt) fast food restaurants.[86] [87]

On April 26, 2019, a Mars Rover designed by S&T's Mars Rover Team broke ground on an expansion for the Kummer Design Center. The expansion added of new labs, manufacturing, and fabrication bays.[88] In addition it expanded the waterjet, welding, and composites labs. The expansion doubled the size of the previous SDELC.[89] Brinkmann Constructors is the company that built the addition onto the design center.[90] The expansion's highest-level donors were Richard and Nancy Arnold, Brinkmann Constructors, Roger and Karen LaBoube, and Fred and June Kummer. The new expansion was dedicated on September 11, 2020, to a virtual audience.

In the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, students and staff used the design center to make PPE for Phelps Health and other surrounding medical facilities.[91] The design center utilized 3D printers to print prototype face shield brackets and face masks.[91] Some of the prototype files were released for the public to print.[91]

Organization

The university is divided into three colleges, each of which contains multiple departments.[136]

The College of Arts, Sciences, and Education (CASE) has 11 departments:[137]

The College of Computing and Engineering (CEC) has 9 departments:[138]

The Kummer College of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (Kummer College) has 3 departments:[139]

Student engineering projects

The Student Design & Experiential Learning Center (SDELC)[140] was established in 2000 to better support the various multi-disciplinary student design teams. In 2004, the center's mission expanded to provide experiential learning in academic courses, identify and support student service learning projects within the curriculum, and support ad hoc student teams in specialty academic events involving multi-disciplinary student research.

By 2006, the SDELC had expanded to ten student design teams. The center's expanded mission involved better funding and offering support and resources to multi-disciplinary project teams that had a research base to their activities. The SDELC provided academic credit opportunities in the form of three, one-hour classes on design, leadership and communication. The center also offers a half-credit course on experiential design through the Residential College (RC) program which has a per-semester enrollment of over 100 students engaged in hands-on learning projects. The SDELC's student design teams, research teams and projects, and academic courses are the foundation of experiential learning at Missouri S&T.<ref name=SDELC/>

Athletics

The Missouri S&T athletic teams are named the Miners and Lady Miners. The university is a member of the Division II level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), primarily competing in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) for most of its sports since the 2005–06 academic year; while its men's swimming team competes in the New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference (NSISC).[141] The Miners and Lady Miners previously competed in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) from 1935–36 to 2004–05; and in the Missouri College Athletic Union (MCAU) of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) from 1924–25 to 1932–33.

Missouri S&T competes in 17 intercollegiate varsity sports (10 for men, 7 for women): Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming, track & field (indoor and outdoor) and volleyball; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, track & field (indoor and outdoor), volleyball and spirit squad. Former sports included women's golf. As of July 2022, men's volleyball became the 17th varsity sport in the 2023 spring season (2022–23 school year).[142]

Notes:

History

The team name comes from the university's history as a mining school. Intercollegiate competition began with a baseball game in 1892 with the first football game in the following year.

Club and intramural sports

Club sports associated with Missouri S&T include ultimate frisbee,[143] lacrosse, rugby union, roller hockey, trap and skeet,[144] tennis, baseball,[145] and water polo.[146]

Intramural sports have a very large following at the Missouri S&T. With over 60 men's teams and over 10 women's teams, sports are arranged into divisions. Thirty different sports are contested each year: golf, softball, swimming, ultimate, flag football, billiards, badminton, volleyball, racquetball, bowling, basketball, table tennis, tennis, track, weightlifting, and soccer.

Student life

The Missouri S&T event calendar includes current campus events.[147]

There are over 200 student organizations at Missouri S&T, including student government, professional societies, community service organizations, and religious and cultural groups.[148]

Student media

The student-run newspaper at Missouri S&T, The Missouri Miner, is published every Thursday during the school year and can be read online, with ongoing digitization of each issue since the first in 1915.[149] In February 2007, the paper threatened to sue the school because the university cut funding.[150] After a one-school-year break for many reasons including a funding cut, The Missouri Miner continued publication in the fall semester of 2009.

Production of the university's RollaMo yearbook is handled by undergraduate students.[151] Amateur radio station, WØEEE, founded in 1931 and run by the Amateur Radio Club, was the first campus club at MSM and is one of the oldest student/college amateur stations in the U.S.[152] Since 1999, the club is located in Emerson Electrical Company Hall.[153]

Two broadcast radio stations are associated with Missouri S&T: KMNR, previously known as KMSM, is a student-run, freeform radio station whose music playlist varies with the mood and inclination of the DJ, with some playing caller requests. Every year KMNR hosts two concerts – Freakers Ball in the fall and MasqueRave (formerly Glitter Ball) in the spring. KMST, previously known as KUMR, is a member-supported public radio station, typically playing classical, bluegrass and jazz and National Public Radio programs. On July 16, 2007, KUMR officially changed its call letters to KMST, in advance of the change of name from "University of Missouri–Rolla" to the "Missouri University of Science and Technology". In 2017, KMST's broadcast operations were transferred to the University of Missouri–St. Louis.

Greek life

Approximately 22% of the undergraduate student body are reported to belong to a social Greek organization.[154] There are a total of more than twenty fraternities and sororities.[155]

The first fraternity established at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy – in 1903 – was the Gamma Xi chapter of Sigma Nu.[156] It is the fraternity's 62nd chapter,[157] [158] and remains active at Missouri S&T.<ref>Web site: 2022-09-14 . ΣΝ - ΓΞ . 2023-08-09 . ΣΝ - ΓΞ . en-US.

The Beta-Eta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon – the fraternity's 55th chapter – was founded at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1947. It remains active at Missouri S&T and has a chartered alumni association.[159] As of fall 2022, the chapter had initiated 1,259 members and received 69 international awards.[160]

University housing

The university offers several residence halls and apartment-style units for those who choose to live on campus. Most are to the north and northwest, along with a complex of efficiency suites near downtown Rolla.[161]

Traditions

St. Patrick's Day is the largest annual celebration since its namesake is the patron saint of engineers.[162] [163] In 1903 engineering students of the University of Missouri in Columbia claimed St. Patrick's Day to be a holiday for engineers.[164] A bronze statue of St. Patrick, by St. Louis sculptor Rudolph Edward Torrini, is located on the Wilson Library Plaza.[165] [166] St. Patrick's Day 2008 marked the one hundredth consecutive year of the holiday's celebration at Missouri S&T.<ref>Web site: History: St. Pat's Celebration Committee. August 31, 2007. Missouri S&T. dead. https://web.archive.org/web/20080110180523/http://web.mst.edu/~stpats/history1.html. January 10, 2008. As part of the celebration, a student is chosen to represent St. Patrick, along with others as "knights" of his court. For about 40 years, new knights were dumped into a trough of repugnant green liquid nicknamed "Alice". The particular event's popularity peaked in the 1980s, though the practice ended in the 1990s due to liability concerns by university administrators.[167]
