At Missouri S&T, research and learning go hand in hand. Undergraduate and graduate students work alongside some of the nation’s top academic experts to address national and state needs in the areas of homeland security, energy, health care, transportation and agriculture. From the very small (such as nanoscale materials and microbial life) to the very large (such as global integrated communications systems and tectonic plate shifts on entire continents), Missouri S&T research activities push the frontiers of understanding.
