UNIVERSITY of MISSOURI - KANSAS CITY

SCHOOL of SCIENCE and ENGINEERING

Division of Energy, Matter and Systems

The Division of Energy, Matter and Systems (EMS) is the largest and most academically diverse division in the School of Science and Engineering (SSE). The Division currently offers programs in Chemistry, Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), and Physics & Astronomy (P&A), and is also developing new programs in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET). EMS fosters cross-disciplinary collaborations in both research and education. It has been instrumental in the establishment and continued success of the Missouri Institute of Defense and Energy (MIDE), which has become one of the most successful platforms within the University of Missouri System for sponsored research and collaboration among academia, industry, and government agencies. EMS faculty led efforts to secure multidisciplinary projects and helped UMKC attain the Carnegie ranked R1 status. https://sse.umkc.edu/academics/

The SSE recently added a new $40M, 58,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility to support multidisciplinary education, research, and economic development initiatives. Some of the key components of this new facility include NextGen Data Science and Analytics Innovation Center (dSAIC), Augmented and Virtual Reality Lab, Robotics Lab, Motion Capture Lab, UAV & Drone Lab, Innovation Studio & 3D Printing Lab, High-Performance Computing Lab, and an Anechoic Chamber. https://sse.umkc.edu/innovation-studio/ These facilities have supported $75M in externally awarded grants and contracts from federal agencies, including NSF, DOD, NIH, and DOE.
