CArE open house presentation 2011_rv2
- 1.
- 2. Our Mission Integrate educationand research to create and convey knowledge to solve problems for our state and the technological world.
- 3. Butler-Carlton Building • Bigger,up-to-date classrooms • More student space (atrium) • State-of-the-art technology
- 4. Overview of Programs •Civil Engineering - Oldest Program on Campus • Architectural Engineering - First Graduate May 2004 ALL Programs • Environmental Engineering Accredited - First Graduate December 2005
- 5. Civil Engineering Egyptian pyramids Great Wall of China Roman Aqueducts Engineering for Civilization
- 6. What do CivilEngineers do? • Structures • Environmental • Transportation • Geotechnical • Construction • Materials • Water Resources
- 7. Civilization and Infrastructure Thesub-disciplines combine in things we ALL use and are often public owned or shared: • Buildings • Streets and Roads • Water Supply and Distribution • Airports • Bridges • Flood Protection …
- 8. Is Civil Engineeringa good fit for YOU? • Are you interested in large infrastructure projects that improve society? • Do you enjoy being part of an interdisciplinary team? • Do you like to see the results of your labor? (building, bridge, canal, etc.)
- 9. Architectural Engineering Sydney Opera House Engineering a more aesthetic future for the world!
- 10. What is ArchitecturalEngineering? • Any engineering applied to a building project that either enables or enhances the intended use of the facility • All engineering design that falls within the building “envelope” falls within the category of architectural engineering
- 11. What’s the differencebetween an Architectural Engineer and an Architect? • Architectural Engineer - responsible for the design of the engineering systems in a building including the structural system, HVAC, plumbing, power distribution, acoustics, and illumination as well as the construction of the building. Registered Professional Engineer (PE) • Architect - responsible for the aesthetics or the appearance of the building and the floor plan/layout. Registered Architect (AIA)
- 12. Emphasis Areas (ArchitecturalEngineering) • Structural Engineering - framing, supports, walls, floors, ceilings • Mechanical Engineering - acoustics, heating, ventilation and air conditioning • Electrical Engineering - lighting - power • Construction Materials Engineering - building material selection • Construction Management - execution of construction documents and specifications - design/build oriented firms
- 13. Is Architectural Engineering a good fit for YOU? • Are you comfortable with math and physical science? • Are you curious and do you have a creative side? • Do you value independence and responsibility? • Do you want to make a world of difference through the useful application of science?
- 14. Environmental Engineering Optimizingthe balance of man’s development and the impact on our global and local environment
- 15. Before and After“Environmental Engineering” Before After The Great London Smog Lasted for five days and resulted in about 4,000 deaths Cuyahoga River, Ohio Caught fire 15 times Cuyahoga
- 16. What is EnvironmentalEngineering? • Water supply and treatment • Air pollution control • Wastewater treatment • Hazardous waste remediation and management • Solid waste disposal • Public health • Policy and law
- 17. Why is Environmental Engineering important? Environmental Engineering: disciplineneeds broad knowledge in many areas that were previously not covered in any one field.
- 18. Is Environmental Engineering a good fit for YOU? • Do you have interest in the environment? • Do you like large scale challenges? • Are you comfortable with interdisciplinary issues?
- 19. Job Outlook for Environmental Engineers Environmental engineers are expected to have employment growth of 31 percent over the projections decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. More environmental engineers will be needed to help companies comply with environmental regulations and to develop methods of cleaning up environmental hazards. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition, Engineers, on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm
- 20. Jobs, jobs, jobs Where do Civil, Architectural or Environmental graduates work?
- 21. A Variety ofOptions • Large cities (national and international) • Small towns and rural settings – Consulting Firms – State Agencies (DOT, DNR, Public Works) – Federal (EPA, Army Corps, USGS) – Cities, Counties, Urban Planning – Industry – Construction Firms Our workplaces are diverse! Michael Lancey, ArchE’06
- 22. Job Market • AverageUndergraduate Starting Salaries 2010-11 - Range between $49,806 and $55,616 • Top Hiring Employers - Accenture, ARCO Construction, Black & Veatch, Boeing, Burns & McDonnell, Clayco, Doe Run, ExxonMobil, HNTB, Kiewit, Nucor, Sandia, Union Pacific Railroad, U.S. Corps of Engineers • Top Hiring States - Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Illinois and Arkansas
- 23. TOP 100 BestJobs in America Money and PayScale.com rate the top 100 careers with great pay and growth prospects #5. Environmental Engineer #6. Civil Engineer http://money.cnn.com
- 24. Job Growth 31% 5. EnvironmentalEngineer 24% 12. Project Engineer 13. Civil Engineer 14. Structural Engineer 15. Transportation Engineer
- 25. Civil, Architectural andEnvironmental (CArE) Engineering: The place to be! • Our graduates work on cool projects • CArE graduates are everywhere • We have lots of scholarships • Employers love us • CArE graduates make big bucks • Our students know how to build stuff • Many opportunities to get practical experience • Great facilities
- 26. Our students arein high demand 711 different employers recruited at the Career Fair
- 27. Co-ops and Internships • Many opportunities in all areas; mostly from alumni in the field. • Numerous chances for training during Internships and Co-ops. • Helps to get practical training, job contacts, $$ and experience Sondra (Terry) Rotty, ArchE’04, MS EMgt’08, of what you’ll be doing as a career. had an internship with the city of St. Louis, doing sewer calculations.
- 28. Department Scholarships • Approximately120 scholarships • Over $150,000 per year - Anyone with a GPA>2.9 needs to fill out an application • Our alumni are very supportive; they are happy with their Preston Carney, CE’02, MS CE’03, (left) with a few S&T student ambassadors in education and careers the atrium of Butler-Carlton Civil Engineering Hall.

Editor's Notes
- #16 Air pollution in KC in 60s, and a polluted stream All linked to our water supplies and uses.Overall ecological disasters like DDT and eagles, Love canal, Times beach here in Missouri
- #18 No one area (civil, geological, chemical engineering) can cover all the areas that encompass “Environmental Engineering” as it is now known. So degree programs have begun to appear. This is more important as our ability to pollute our environment has grown to global proportion (ozone hole, Global warming?)Photos of a polluted discharge to a stream, a water treatment plant that results in safe drinking water.
- #33 The Missouri S&T chapter of Engineers Without Borders, founded in April, 2005, was the first EWB student chapter in Missouri. EWB-S&T works through Engineers Without Borders-USA and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to improve the quality of life in developing communities while training internationally-responsible engineering students. EWB-Missouri S&T specializes in the implementation of equitable and environmentally- and economically-sustainable engineering projects. Since 2006 the team has worked on infrastructure projects in Bolivia, Honduras, and Guatemala, many involving sanitation and clean water. EWB trips to ensure the ongoing success of past projects, and identify future opportunities to help other people. Students need many skills to make EWB-S&T programs successful, and they accept all academic disciplines. Understanding the non-engineering components of local needs is often more complicated than the engineering aspects themselves. It is EWB's goal to instill this reality in all participating students.
