S-STEM Program

Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

About the Program

The S-STEM program is designed to provide participating scholars with an opportunity to engage in research at Missouri S&T. The program is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation The program first started in 2019 with one project and has since grown to include three projects, each contributing to different research areas. There are now two cohorts of scholars, the first with six scholars and the second with eight scholars. Each of the three projects are listed with a brief description below, along with links to the project's page and the members of the project.

Projects

PERCEPOLIS
The PERCEPOLIS project is focused on creating a production-ready application that utilizes a set of algorithms to optimize and personalize a student's path to graduation.
Traffic Prediction
The Traffic Prediction project aims to create an application that predicts dense road segments in both rural and urban areas using information gained from cell phones or other routing devices.

Survivability of Autonomous Vehicles

The Survivability project simulates cyber-attacks on the digital systems of autonomous vehicles through the use of an autonomous vehicle simulator. The simulations are designed to expose cyber vulnerabilities in these newly developed, high-risk systems.

IEMI

The Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Detection project aims to develop a software based methodology to detect the presence of EMI and study the effects it has on software.
