2015 Scholarly Productivity Report

Scholarly Productivity Report Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering

2015

care.mst.edu 2015 Scholarly Productivity -- 1

Making progress The CArE Department’s 2015 Scholarly Productivity Report is a collective effort by our team of faculty, staff and students. Our team has been hard at work promoting the S&T brand, as well as our reputation as a top educational research university. As a result of this hard work, we have over 90 journal publications and book chapters from our 24 faculty members in the department. In addition, our faculty and students delivered over 140 presentations at conferences around the world, including many that were invited as keynote speakers (see Dr. John Myers pg. 18).

Great things are happening in our department and that is being projected around the globe.

As always, we are excited by the potential the future brings. In 2015, we welcomed two new members of the CArE team and plan for them to be strong contributers long into the future. Dr. Nicolas Libre (pictured below, second from left) was hired as an assistant teaching professor, bringing novel instructional methods and also previous experience as a director of research for the Construction Materials Institute (CMI) at the University of Tehran, Iran. Also, joining our team was Dr. Hongyan Ma from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Dr. Ma brings a strong research record to Missouri S&T and perhaps most exciting, his position was created as part of the S&T signature area of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Infrastructure.

This signature area links to campuswide efforts and investment in the advanced interdisciplinary research and educational programs and was initiated by Dr. Kamal Khayat, the Vernon and Maralee Jones Professor of Civil Engineering. For the Advanced Materials for Sustainable Infrastructure area, hires were also carried out in materials science and engineering, where Dr. Aditya Kumar, assistant professor of ceramic engineering, was hired. So looking to the future, you will see Dr. Kumar’s name along with others across the S&T campus included often in our Scholarly Productivity as our team expands and grows.

The focus in infrastructure materials tracks directly to our departmental plan, Vision 2020, where we looked to leverage our current strengths and campus investment to project these strengths even farther in increasing our scholarly reputation among peers, our alumni and our current and future students. We look to the future with great expectations, as well as new efforts to broaden the expertise of our team, including six new faculty hires planned before the 2016-17 academic year.

So please take a look at our Productivity Report and keep an eye on the future, as we continue to advance and also engage the next generation of engineering students with programs like our Greenberg Scholars (pg. 21) — where the program is helping undergraduate students attain both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Missouri S&T and integrating classroom, laboratory and field experiences, as we build our next generation of S&T alumni to go out and change the world.

Follow our progress as we have exciting news, events and activities posted on our Facebook page (link on pg. 24) and on our website (care.mst.edu).

Greenberg scholars The Aaron and Zelda Greenberg Scholars Program incorporates an estimated 10-15 students, annually, who work with their faculty advisors to develop a program of independent research study that weaves through both B.S. and M.S. degree programs.

Faculty advisors seek to find meaningful projects and incorporate external internships or other scholarly experiences along this path to enhance not only the Scholars’ academic development, but also their professional skillset.

The Greenberg Scholars are expected to obtain both the B.S. and M.S. degrees from the CArE Engineering Department in 5 years, and actively seek to attain national level recognition while doing so (e.g. by securing fellowships or awards from NSF, DOE, etc.). The Greenberg Scholars Program challenges our most talented students to reach their full potential while concurrently attracting prospective students to the challenges and opportunities the program provides.

The academic requirements, expectations and eligibility follow the established Master Student Fellowship Program.
