Seven engineering students received awards recognizing work in their respective fields.
Each year, the University of Missouri hosts Show Me Research Week, a celebration of student research and creative activity representing almost every field and discipline on campus.
About 500 Mizzou students and postdoctoral fellows presented projects from April 14-17. Of the students who chose to have their work judged, several received awards in each category at the closing reception in Memorial Union.
The following engineering students and their faculty mentors were recognized for their work:
