Comments on: Nationally regarded engineer and academic leader chosen for chancellor at Missouri S&T https://news.mst.edu/2019/05/nationally-regarded-engineer-and-academic-leader-chosen-for-chancellor-at-missouri-st/ Your source for the latest from Rolla Sun, 02 Jun 2019 04:48:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 By: Bob Stevens https://news.mst.edu/2019/05/nationally-regarded-engineer-and-academic-leader-chosen-for-chancellor-at-missouri-st/#comment-218127 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 04:48:27 +0000 https://news.mst.edu/?p=28097#comment-218127 In reply to Todd Jaco.

The five year plan for the university is to double the amount of funded research. That would still be half of Iowa State’s Engineering research, for a similar sized engineering school. It will be far from MIT or Cal Tech. It will remain a predominately Undergraduate Engineering University, but with a strengthened graduate and research program. I support it.

It seems that S&T is trying to shift from being an institution that produces excellent undergraduate students to a research institute. While research has always been an important part of what makes this university so attractive to employers, I do hope that you do not lose focus the fact that the reason behind the success of your career fair and the investment from industry is not related to your research but to the quality of your teaching staff. They are the ones that turn out excellent students, and more research may help with that but if it starts to replace it you will fall into a basket of other schools that, at least within the organization’s I have worked for, would be less interested in hiring from as we do not need more master’s and doctorate’s but skilled, ready to go undergraduate engineers.
