Engineering and computing professionals in St. Louis will soon have local access to several Missouri University of Science and Technology masters degree programs, certificates and quick courses.

After thorough market analysis and discussions with our industry partners in St. Louis, its evident that introducing S&T's high-quality engineering and computing programs is key to filling critical gaps in specialized education and ensuring the region's workforce is well-prepared for future challenges and opportunities, said Missouri S&T Chancellor Mo Dehghani.

Missouri S&T has had a small presence in the St. Louis area, but Dr. Islam El-adaway, associate dean for academic partnerships for S&Ts College of Engineering and Computing and Hurst-McCarthy Professor of Construction Engineering and Management, says the offerings will now be more robust and specifically curated to meet the needs of the St. Louis region.

He says the goal is to launch some of the first courses this summer at the Missouri S&T Engineering Education Center, located at 12837 Flushing Meadows Dr. in St. Louis.

Engineering graduate courses and programs will be offered in civil, electrical, environmental, aerospace, mechanical, computer and systems engineering, as well as engineering management.

Students in our St. Louis center can expect to have the same high-quality instruction and experiences as they would receive in Rolla, he said. We are excited to partner with corporations that have multiple employees aspiring to advance in their education, and we also welcome individuals who have lifelong learning desires to reach out for more information. We are ready to help the areas professionals further develop in their careers and support their organizations.

El-adaway said the St. Louis programming will have over 150 courses available across eight masters degree programs, nine graduate certificates and 10 short courses.

I invite industry leaders to contact me and see how we can best serve them, he said. This arrangement will bring one of the top public engineering and computing universities directly to St. Louis.
