Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Missouri University of Science and Technology LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Dear Colleagues and Friends: It is with great pleasure that I provide you with our 2011 Annual Scholarly Activities Report for the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. You will find our enrollment continues to be strong in both the undergraduate and graduate programs, resulting in our granting roughly 25% of the degrees on the Missouri University of Science and Technology campus. Our undergraduate students received a record number of scholarships awarded by our department. Our faculty continue to provide our graduate students with new funding and educational opportunities. For example, our Seminar Committee developed a strong slate of speakers this year, attracting to our campus an impressive list of colleagues with national and international reputations. Amidst the strong student enrollments our faculty have continued to develop their nationally and internationally recognized research programs through their scholarly activity which is highlighted in this report. Our research activities have been bolstered by the growing research programs of our junior faculty. MAE has two new faculty this year, Jie Gao and Xiaodong Yang, whose expertise includes nano-photonics and light-matter interactions. We are pleased with the great energy and passion they bring to their teaching along with the significant potential of their research and collaborative prospects with the other faculty in the department and on campus. We will continue to recruit new faculty talent to the MAE Department as we plan to grow our faculty size to meet the strong demand for mechanical and aerospace engineers. You will see our faculty contributing in many different ways, but their efforts are all critical to the vitality of our department and campus. As you review our 2011 Annual Scholarly Activities Report, I believe you will agree that the faculty along with our outstanding staff form a department of significant strength and potential focused on bringing excellence to the education of our students.
