The University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR), founded as the Missouri School of Mines in 1870, is one of four universities in the University of Missouri System. Officially designated as Missouri's technological university, the institution has been recognized as one of the best undergraduate engineering schools in the country. Part of the tradition of excellence is reflected in the Electrical Engineering Department's research and training programs. Faculty and students, including both graduate and undergraduate, actively conduct research in the fields of: Power Systems, Electric Machines, Devices and Power Electronics; Electro-magnetic Compatibility; Digital Devices; Controls; Communications and Signal Processing; Optical Systems; and Solid State Devices. However, current conditions of the Electrical Engineering Building, constructed in 1959, are less than optimal to support research activities. Infrastructure utilities are inadequate, better facilities for communication network cabling are needed, and the building does not comply with current safety and ADA regulations. The National Science Foundation and UMR will form a partnership to improve existing research space for research personnel in the Engineering Building. Funds will be used to renovate experimental, computer, and undergraduate research facilities. Modernizing research space for undergraduates will encourage more to participate in research, stimulating students to pursue graduate studies in engineering. In addition to providing a safe working environment, and increasing research productivity, the project will assist the Department in its efforts to recruit new faculty.

密苏里大学罗拉分校 (UMR) 成立于 1870 年，前身是密苏里矿业学院，是密苏里大学系统中的四所大学之一。 该机构被正式指定为密苏里州技术大学，被公认为美国最好的本科工程学院之一。 卓越传统的一部分体现在电气工程系的研究和培训计划中。 教师和学生，包括研究生和本科生，积极开展以下领域的研究：电力系统、电机、设备和电力电子；电磁兼容性；数字设备；控制；通信和信号处理；光学系统；和固态设备。 然而，建于 1959 年的电气工程大楼目前的状况不足以支持研究活动。 基础设施不足，需要更好的通信网络布线设施，并且该建筑不符合当前的安全和 ADA 法规。 美国国家科学基金会和马里兰大学医学院将建立合作伙伴关系，以改善工程大楼研究人员的现有研究空间。 资金将用于翻新实验、计算机和本科生研究设施。本科生的现代化研究空间将鼓励更多人参与研究，刺激学生攻读工程研究生。 除了提供安全的工作环境和提高研究生产力外，该项目还将协助该系招聘新教师。
