Geological EngineeringBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of PhilosophyDoctor of EngineeringEmphasis areas at the Bachelor of Science level inenvironmental protection and hazardous wastemanagement, groundwater hydrology andcontaminant transport, engineering geology andgeotechnics, petroleum, energy and naturalresources, and quarry engineering.

The Geological Engineering program is offeredunder the department of Geological Sciences andEngineering.

Geological engineering - we care about the earth!We care for the earth, its resources and its inhabitants.

Geological engineers apply their engineering skillsto projects which protect and preserve the earth and theenvironment in which we live. Do you like workingoutdoors? Do you enjoy solving problems using yourskills and creativity? Do you like helping people and theenvironment? Then you may be a good candidate forgeological engineering!

Geological engineers work on a variety of projectsthat involve the earth and its resources. For example, ageological engineer may be involved in the design of aproject to protect wetlands. A geological engineer maybe involved in the cleanup of lead contaminated soilwhich threatens peoples' homes. Geological engineersmay develop safe drinking water supplies in parts of theworld where infant mortality is many times higher thanit is in the United States. Geological engineers work onprotecting infrastructure like bridges, buildings andutilities from earthquake damage. Geological engineersevaluate the use of naturally-occurring materials likeclay to prevent the spread of subsurface contamination.Geological engineers are interested in the developmentof renewable energy resources to conserve traditionalsources of energy. Geological engineers work with theenvironment to improve conditions for everyone and theworld around us.

The curriculum for geological engineers includes thefamiliar engineering subjects like math, chemistry,physics and mechanics. However, geological engineersalso take courses that are focused on the earth - its soil,rock and fluids; these courses frequently include fieldwork! Of course, geological engineers also are well-trained in engineering design and such design coursestypical focus on projects that help people and societythrough careful consideration of where, when, and howthe earth's resources are utilized.

Because the use and conservation of the earth'sresources is an ever-growing concern and responsibility,there is an increasing need for geological engineers in awide variety of areas including industry, governmentagencies, and research applications. Scholarships areavailable as are summer internships and, ultimately,challenging and rewarding permanent employment.

Mission StatementIt is the mission of the Geological Engineering

program to teach integrated concepts of geology andengineering in such a manner that graduates willgraduate as competent, ethical, professional geologicalengineers. The program is designed to providebackground in geological and engineering sciencescourses in the lower division which support the appliedanalysis and design concepts courses taught in theupper division. It is expected that the students will havegained the ability to identify and, through analysis anddesign, solve problems resulting from the interaction ofman’s activities with the geologic environment. Thecurriculum is intended to blend theoretical conceptswith practical application, so as to offer the student awell-rounded education, and to include sufficientdiscussion and project oriented work with real-worldissues to provide the student with a thoroughawareness of the graduate’s responsibility to society.Since geological engineering students are orientedtoward careers in environmental protection, socialawareness and the engineer’s responsibility to bothclient and society is strongly emphasized throughoutthe curriculum, particularly in the senior seminar anddesign courses.

165 — Geology and Geophysics

Geology andGeophysicsBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of PhilosophyEmphasis areas at the Bachelor of Science level ingeochemistry, geology, geophysics, groundwaterand environmental geochemistry, and petroleumgeology.

The Geology and Geophysics program is offeredunder the Department of Geological Sciences andEngineering.

Geology, geochemistry and geophysics study thehistory, composition, and structure of Earth and otherplanetary bodies. The expertise and activities in theGeology and Geophysics program make the MissouriUniversity of Science and Technology one of the leadingU.S. research universities. Faculty and students areinvestigating areas such as the study of nuclear wastedisposal, ground water pollution, palynostratigraphy(micro fossils), geophysical characterization ofgeological hazards (e.g., earthquakes, collapsedcaverns) reflection and theoretical seismology,computational geophysics, 3D seismic applications topetroleum exploration, evolution of petroleumreservoirs, genesis of ore deposits, the role ofmagmatism and tectonics, and industrial processing ofminerals. We provide the only program in Missouri ingeophysics and geochemistry with an emphasis uponexploration and environmental applications.

Students are drawn to geology and geophysics by adesire to explore a topic that is for many a personalpassion. As a student in the Geology and Geophysicsprogram, you may become involved in a wide range ofstudies. We have students investigating their world andbeyond in areas as diverse as planetary geology, fossilsand evolution, volcanology, structure and dynamics ofEarth’s deep interior, development of cave systems,exploration for oil and gas, adsorption of pollutants bysoils, ore mineralization, creation of mountain systems,the beauty of minerals, to name but a few. Manycourses involve work outdoors within the state ofMissouri as well as in national parks such as the GrandCanyon. You may even find yourself snorkeling over acoral reef in the Caribbean Sea, working in the riftedvalleys in Africa or examining geologic evolution of theEgyptian Nile.

In the first two years of study, students develop astrong foundation in geology through the corecurriculum. This foundation is strengthened by coursework in chemistry, physics, mathematics and computerscience, and the humanities and social sciences.Students begin to take more specialized coursespertaining to their particular area of interest in theirjunior and senior years. The numerous elective coursesoffered by the Geology and Geophysics program, as wellas courses outside the department, provide our majorswith the flexibility to custom design an emphasis area of

their choice, focusing in on aspects of Earth Science thatare of most interest to them. In this way, our majorsdevelop a broad understanding of the fundamentals ofour diverse discipline while preserving this importantopportunity to develop their own passion within geologyand geophysics.

The Earth Sciences have been an integral part ofMissouri S&T since its founding in 1870. Our studentorganizations in geology and geophysics are among theoldest in the nation and include the Dake Society,American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Societyof Exploration Geophysicists, and the Sigma GammaEpsilon (Eta Chapter) honor society. Theseorganizations provide numerous opportunities for socialand scientific interaction among students,professionals, and faculty.

The Geology and Geophysics program is located inMcNutt Hall and it is especially well endowed withmodern, state-of-the-art equipment for teaching andresearch in most areas of the Earth Sciences. Theavailability of such equipment provides our studentswith an excellent laboratory and field educationalexperience. In addition, cooperative studies with theMissouri Geological Survey and the U.S. GeologicalSurvey provide students with opportunities for part timeemployment and on-the-job experience while theypursue their degree.

Geological Scientists enjoy their work. As aprofessional geologist or geophysicist you may explorefor oil, gas, and coal to provide for our nation's energyneeds. You may search for minerals critical to industry.You may become involved in minimizing environmentalhazards. In all cases, you will have the opportunity towork outdoors, in the lab, and with cutting edgetechnology.

Students who completethe Global Studies minor will have an increasedawareness of the society, culture, technical issues,and/or language of at least one country other than theUnited States prior to the completion of their MissouriS&T undergraduate experience. Any Missouri S&Tstudent enrolled in an undergraduate degree program iseligible for the Global Studies minor program, whichconsists of 12 credit hours from an approved list ofclasses and at least 2 weeks (14 days) of experience ina foreign country acquired during an approved MissouriS&T class or research project, Missouri S&Textracurricular activity, and/or Missouri S&T studyabroad activity.

German / Global Studies — 172

Courses must be selected from the list of approvedcourses maintained by the Global Studies AdvisoryCommittee. At least one three hour course must focuson the society, culture, and/or language of a foreigncountry. Approved courses that meet this criterion arefrom the Arts, Languages, Humanities, or SocialSciences. The other nine hours comes from approvedcourses that include at least 25 percent internationalstudies content. “International studies content” isdefined as course content addressing countries orregions outside of the United States. “Internationalstudies content” does not include content that isuniversal but rather that which addresses specificcountries or regions outside of the United States. Tosatisfy the multi-disciplinary aspect of the minor, nomore than six hours may be taken from a single MissouriS&T degree program.

The minor requires personal experience in a foreigncountry. Students will participate in one or moreapproved Missouri S&T-sponsored trips to a foreigncountry for no less than 14 days total. Examples ofapproved trips include, but are not limited to, those thatmay be a part of Missouri S&T classes and/or an OUREproject-related trip, an extracurricular activity includingMissouri S&T’s Engineers Without Borders field trips,and/or Missouri S&T sanctioned study abroad.

HistoryBachelor of Arts/HistoryMaster of Arts

History is a response to the eternal desire of humanbeings to know more about themselves. For this reason,history students experience a variety of courses, whichemphasize the importance of people, their individualchoices, their values and their ways of seeing themselvesand their world. History majors study man’s accumulatedheritage from the fossil past to the nuclear present.

This varied course of study includes fundamentalsurvey classes, specific chronological or topicalinvestigations, and special topic seminars. At MissouriS&T individuals who hold Ph.D. degrees and arepublishing scholars teach virtually all of your history andpolitical science courses. The hallmark of the program isindividual attention. In upper-level courses, efforts aremade to keep class sizes small enough to enablediscussion, which in turn provides for a greater breadthof knowledge and depth of understanding, and forpersonal student-professor associations.

As a history major you learn to analyze information,communicate effectively, and engage in research. Suchskills are useful for careers in government service,business, industry, and social service institutions, as

well as being the fundamental requisites for graduateand professional studies beyond the undergraduatedegree.

If you plan to become a secondary school historyteacher, you can fulfill the general requirements for theBachelor of Arts degree, the requirements for thehistory major, and the requirements for Missouricertification in the teaching of history. See Educationfor further information. Contact the Missouri S&Thistory department for advising.

A minor in history is an option for non-majors whowish to complement their major field of study. This five-course option allows you to gain a broader perspectiveon human events and to develop your abilities inhistorical analysis.

In short, when you study history you not onlylearn important information and skills but you also arechallenged to think, to communicate, and to cope withcomplexity.

MathematicsBachelor of Science(Applied Mathematics)

Master of Science(Applied Mathematics)

Master of Science for Teachers(Mathematics)

Doctor of Philosophy(Mathematics)Emphasis areas at the Bachelor of Science levelinclude actuarial science, algebra/discretemathematics, applied analysis, computationalmathematics, secondary education, and statistics.Emphasis areas at the doctor of philosophy levelof mathematics include analysis, differential andfunctional equations, and statistics.

Mathematics is a universal language. It is one whichscientists use to express ideas and relationshipsconcisely. It is a tool, which they use to investigateproblems.

As a mathematician, you will set up and analyzemodels of physical situations in order to deduce newinformation and to predict results.

Most students pursue their study of mathematicsthrough a differential equations course and then electcourses in specialized areas such as algebra, analysis,geometry, topology, and statistics. Supporting study intechnical electives is required from other departments.Such study includes analytical mechanics,communication theory, control theory, and others.

Your classes, for the most part, will be held in theRolla Building. You will be provided data processing andcomputational services to solve complex problemsthrough the computer facilities. (See computer sciencedescription.)

You will find that mathematics contributes to thegrowth in knowledge in most areas. Your program atMissouri S&T will emphasize breadth in mathematicsand depth in an associated area of application.

MetallurgicalEngineeringBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of Philosophy

Metallurgical engineering is one of two B.S. degreesoffered by the Materials Science & EngineeringDepartment. Metallurgical engineering is a broaddiscipline that studies metals production and recycling,the manufacturing of components from metals andalloys, the processing and treatment of metals toachieve improved properties, and the design of metallicmaterials for specific applications. Missouri S&T has oneof the largest and most comprehensive metallurgicalengineering departments in the United States. It is theonly such department in Missouri or in any of thesurrounding states.

The field of metallurgical engineering starts with theproduction and recycling of metals such as aluminum,steel, copper, magnesium and titanium. Once thesemetals are made, metallurgical engineers designforming and processing techniques to transform thesemetals into useful shapes with the properties requiredfor their application. For example, light-weightmagnesium is cast to make cell phones, zinc-coatedsteel is stamped to make corrosion resistant autobodies, aluminum is formed to make the strong butlightweight wings of jet aircraft, tungsten powder isconsolidated and drawn into filaments for incandescentlight bulbs, and steel I-beams are hot-rolled for theconstruction of skyscrapers. Metallurgical engineerscontrol the properties of metallic materials by alteringthe microscopic structure with alloying additions andspecial treatments. This approach leads to productssuch as corrosion-resistant stainless steels, ultra-lightweight alloys for aircraft, wear-resistant alloys forengines, and shape-memory alloys for space structures.In addition, investigating material failures andmonitoring service life are tasks that are performed bymetallurgists.

Although all metallurgical engineering students takethe same basic required courses in metallurgicalengineering, students can select several technicalelectives to emphasize their particular area of interest.Students are also encouraged to undertake summer andcooperative training employment to supplement boththeir academic studies and incomes. The departmenthas also introduced a materials minor program forstudents from other engineering disciplines with aninterest in materials.

The department is housed in McNutt Hall and hasoutstanding facilities for both classroom and laboratorylearning. There are several optical and electronmicroscopes, a well equipped metals casting and joininglaboratory, and comprehensive metal testing facilities.The department continuously upgrades its facilities forclassroom and laboratory learning. The department hasalso enhanced its computer applications laboratory with

the addition of new software and computers, andimproved network access. Additional information isavailable at http://mse.mst.edu/.

The Department of Military Science is responsiblefor the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Program.ROTC is a program of leadership and basic military skillstraining which prepares students to serve as officers inthe Total Army—the Active Army, the Army Reserve, andthe Army National Guard—after graduation. Army ROTCcan help you succeed during college and aftergraduation. You can gain the confidence and self-discipline needed to meet the academic challenge ofMissouri S&T through Military Science courses and canacquire the leadership skills, which will impressemployers when you enter the work force.

The Army ROTC program is flexible, and allowsstudents to participate in the first two years of theprogram without obligation. Alternate entry programsfor students with prior military service, transferstudents, and students serving in the Army Reserve orNational Guard are available. The Advanced Course,Junior and Senior years), focuses on preparing cadetsfor officership, and requires a commitment to the ROTCprogram. Students who wish to take Military Sciencecourses, but who do not wish to participate in ArmyROTC, may do so with the approval of the DepartmentChairman.

Military Science classes are taught on the MissouriS&T campus and are supplemented by one weekendfield training exercise at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. eachsemester for contracted ROTC cadets. The ROTCprogram concentrates on the whole person and includesphysical training, leadership development,marksmanship, individual tactical skills, and essentialknowledge of today’s Army and its role in our society.

The minor in Military Science gives formal academicrecognition for the leadership and management trainingreceived by those completing the entire Army ROTCprogram.

The Military Science program at Missouri S&T isdescribed in detail in the Appendix/Army ROTC (MilitaryScience) of this catalog. For more information on theMilitary Science Program, scholarships, qualification and

precious metals, industrial minerals, quarry industry,explosives industry, construction or demolition, miningequipment suppliers and mining/geotechnicalconsulting firms.

The Mining Engineering profession deals withlocation, extraction, and use of mineral resources andmineral policy. Lunar and ocean mining constitute newfrontiers. The mining engineer is concerned with allphases of mineral recovery, including exploration,evaluation, development, extraction, mine evaluation,reclamation, processing, and marketing of minerals. Inaddition to engineering, science and liberal arts courses,appropriate courses are taken in explosivesengineering, geology, mineral beneficiation, coal minedevelopment and production, mining of metallic andaggregate minerals, mine systems design, miningeconomics and law, mine hygiene and safety, minemanagement, mine ventilation, rock mechanics, groundsupport, and reclamation.

The mining engineer relies upon geologic knowledgeand highly sensitive instruments for the location andevaluation of mineral deposits. Problems involved in thedevelopment, exploitation and the beneficiation ofminerals and marketing of valuable constituents mustbe determined in advance. Mining must be carried outefficiently, safely, and economically, with the welfare ofthe public as a primary consideration. Land must berestored to a useful condition after mining ceases andpollution controls must be designed to prevent harmfulenvironmental effects.

Intensive research programs are conducted atMissouri S&T in surface and underground mining, heavymining machinery, explosives engineering, mine healthand safety, oil sands recovery, waterjet excavation,mineral economics, mine operations and design, mineatmospheric control and ventilation, mineralstransportation, rock mechanics and applied geophysics.Appropriate research by faculty and graduate studentsensures program relevance to industry.
