Mizzou Engineering

Mizzou is moving Missourians quickly into high‑skill, high‑demand, high‑wage construction careers while also creating new, flexible entry points into higher education — at no cost to the learner.

The Missouri Construction Pathways Initiative (McPIe) features 11 new short‑term training programs focused on in-demand occupations such as construction project leadership, safety and risk management, digital construction and estimating, surveying, and heavy equipment operations.

“These programs are about moving people quickly into high‑demand workforce areas,” said Praveen Edara, principal investigator for the initiative. “They’re also about helping people already in the field gain the skills they need to move ahead.”

By connecting Missourians to opportunity and employers to talent, the no-cost initiative is helping build not just roads and bridges, but the future of the state’s workforce.

Summer Welcome begins online June 8 and in person June 9! We honestly can't wait to see you!

Look over this list and make sure you are ready to start!

Computer science students Sophie Blick, Rohitha Sresta Ganji, Andrew Klusmeyer, Ming Lin, Nolan Park, Pari Patel leveraged an insight about user experience to develop an alternative to CAPTCHA to accurately detect bot behavior without interrupting the user experience.

The team found that machine learning could handle the same job entirely in the background — no interruptions, no puzzles, just seamless verification.

Passive, ML-driven verification is still a relatively open space, and the students think there's meaningful work left to be done in making it more robust, more generalizable and eventually production-ready.
