The College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) has named a new cohort of Dean’s Undergraduate Research Scholars. Six students will receive program scholarships:

• Bryce Cambers, a senior in computer engineering from Neosho, Missouri; advised by Dr. Ahmad Alsharoa, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering.

• Seth Crawford, a senior in metallurgical engineering from Jefferson City, Missouri; advised by Dr. Haiming Wen, assistant professor of materials science and engineering.

• Alec Davis, a senior in electrical engineering from Rolla, Missouri; advised by Dr. Mina Esmaeelpour, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering.

• Lucas Rackers, a senior in ceramic engineering from Florissant, Missouri; advised by Dr. Arezoo Emdadi, assistant professor of materials science and engineering.

• Brent Roberson, a senior in computer engineering from Weldon Spring, Missouri; advised by Dr. Ahmad Alsharoa, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering.

• Jessi Schoolcraft, a senior in global engineering from Willard, Missouri; advised by Dr. Joel Burken, Curators’ Distinguished Professor and chair of civil, architectural and environmental engineering.

The Dean’s Undergraduate Research Scholars Program began last year for S&T juniors and seniors studying engineering and computer science who want to stay in Rolla to pursue a graduate degree.

Students receive a $2,000 scholarship and a $500 budget for research-related expenses each semester they are in the program, up to a total of two semesters. Students must be enrolled full time and have a 3.4 grade point average while they receive funding.

Interested students should talk to their advisor for more information and to complete an application. The application spring 2023 deadline is Thursday, Dec. 1, and the summer 2023 deadline is Monday, May 1.
