Scott Melby, a senior geology major, recently rediscovered his love of painting. Photo by B.A. Rupert
Scott Melby can’t stop painting. His first painting, done as part of an art class at Missouri S&T, was an image of a driftwood stump taken from a photo of a recent trip to Jekyll Island, Ga. In the 10 months that followed, the senior geology major has painted more than 70 pieces.

To say Jenny Costello has gotten a well-rounded education at Missouri S&T is an understatement. Costello, a chemical engineering senior from St. Louis, has been able to take what she’s learned in the classroom and transfer it to the volleyball court and to her recent trip overseas.

When he was 14, Carl Lacy found what would turn out to be his first car in a Kansas City junkyard. It was buried under lots of, well, junk. Lacy could only gain access to the gas cap, which had a little gremlin figure on it. He pocketed the cap.

The area known as the Sea of Tranquility turned out to be the spot. Missouri S&T graduate Farouk El-Baz used remote sensing to help NASA officials determine that this was where the Eagle would land on the moon back in 1969. Later, the producers of Star Trek: The Next Generation celebrated his work by naming a spacecraft, El-Baz, after him.

Kedra Dierking‘s parents recently converted their home in Union, Mo., to a geothermal energy system. Like many home improvement projects, it involved some retrofitting and rearranging. But that conversion pales in comparison to Dierking’s summer project on the S&T campus.
