From the Interim Chair
Dear alumni and friends,
It is my pleasure to share with you the Fall 2025 edition of Common Ground, which celebrates the accomplishments of our students, faculty and alumni in Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at Missouri S&T. This year has been marked by achievement and momentum, which underscores our commitment to innovation, service and excellence in education and research.
Our students inspire us with their dedication and talent. Jane Yates exemplifies this spirit, her passion for sustainability leading from a high school composting program to outreach in Kenya with Engineers Without Borders. Likewise, Kaitlyn Dunahee’s Remington R. Williams Award and the Beavers Charitable Trust scholarships that Rachael Puls and Rachel Winingear earned reflect the leadership thriving in our community. Our superb seniors, including Seth Filipsen, Garrett Coggin and Lily Fuller, are poised to carry this legacy into professional practice.
Our design teams also set new benchmarks. The Steel Bridge Team achieved a record fifth-place national ranking, and Engineers Without Borders advanced transformative projects in Ecuador, Kenya, Guatemala and Bolivia. These efforts embody our ethos of engineering with purpose and impact. The wide range of internships — from Emma Allen’s work at Freese & Nichols to Puls’ role at Denver International Airport — further demonstrates how our students translate classroom learning into real-world solutions for resilience, water management and sustainable design.
At the heart of these successes are our alumni and friends. Your mentorship, service and generous support — highlighted on page 22 — sustain our mission by funding scholarships, laboratory equipment, and programs like summer camps and senior design projects. These contributions enrich the student experience and empower us to address pressing engineering challenges.
As I conclude my service as interim chair and pass leadership to Dr. Karan Venayagamoorthy, I am confident in the seamless continuation of our vision. His technical expertise and proven leadership will ensure continued growth. The strength of our department lies in both technical excellence and the shared commitment of our community to improving the world. I am deeply grateful for your engagement and look forward to advancing Missouri S&T’s legacy of leadership and innovation together.
Warm regards,
Mohamed A. ElGawady, Ph.D. Professor and Alard and Sheri Kaplan Faculty Scholar (elgawadym@mst.edu)
How a kindergarten lesson fueled one student’s focus
Jane Yates, a junior in environmental engineering at Missouri S&T, may aspire to one day earn a Ph.D. in her field, but she credits a lesson from kindergarten as the driving force behind her determination.
“Something most people learn from a young age is how we should strive to leave the world a better place than we found it,” says Yates, of Knob Noster, Missouri. “That has always stuck with me.”
Until her junior year of high school, Yates planned to become a medical doctor and make a difference through health care. Then, she took an Advanced Placement environmental science course, which changed everything.
“This class was really eye-opening for me,” she says. “I learned about so many issues related to the environment, and it inspired me to do my part and find solutions.”
Jane Yates
Last summer, she was in eastern Tennessee for a research internship to support the health of many of the state’s waterways. Over her most recent winter break, she traveled to Kenya with S&T’s chapter of Engineers Without Borders to conduct an assessment for a future water system for a school.
As president of S&T’s chapter of the Society of Women Engineers, she regularly visits Rolla Middle School and conducts science and engineering programming for the students, as well as other outreach events.
Now in her third year at the university she has made her mark in multiple student organizations and locations far beyond S&T’s Rolla, Missouri, campus.
She is a member of the S&T Concrete Canoe Design Team, and she leads tours and provides prospective students with information about S&T as one of the university’s student ambassadors.
In almost everything she does, she considers how her actions can affect issues like sustainability, environmental education and leaving the world better than she found it. She says this fits perfectly with this year’s National Engineers Week theme, “Design Your Future.”
“Environmental engineers can truly change lives with the work they do,” she says. “Whether it’s water treatment, water quality, air quality, climate change, bioremediation, public health or one of countless other areas, the work we do really matters.”
CE senior receives Remington R. Williams Award
Kaitlyn Dunahee, a senior in civil engineering at Missouri S&T from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, was named a 2025 recipient of the Remington R. Williams Award.
A member of the Kummer Vanguard Scholars Student Steering Committee, Dunahee has held leadership roles for the Residential Commons Hall Association and the Residential Hall Association, represents Christian Campus Fellowship for Student Council, tutors fellow students and is a peer mentor in S&T’s Cornerstone Peers program.
Each recipient received $1,000 and a leadership medal to wear at graduation. The students were also recognized at a Board of Curators meeting.
The Remington R. Williams Award recognizes exceptional student leaders who inspire and advocate for their fellow students. To be considered for the award, students must be involved in at least two student organizations and hold a major leadership position in at least one and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA.
Kaitlyn Dunahee
Williams, a law student at UMKC and a master’s student at UMSL, served as student representative to the UM Board of Curators from 2020 until his death in June 2022. He was a model of committed student leadership, and the board created this award to honor his legacy of kindness, collaboration and service.
Dunahee was nominated for the award by two faculty members, an administrator and a fellow student at Missouri S&T.
Multiple nominators noted that Dunahee asked questions to better understand concepts and was eager to help her classmates.
“She’s a busy student working to make everything and everyone around her better.”
– Dr. Ralph Flori
“Even when my engineering management course was officially online, students could attend class in person once a week,” wrote Dr. Javier Valentin-Sivico, assistant teaching professor of engineering management and systems engineering.
“Kaitlyn was among the few students who regularly participated in the in-person lectures and the course learning center,” Valentin-Sivico wrote. “During the learning center, Kaitlyn would assist other students when they had questions on problems she had already solved.”
Dr. Ralph Flori, professor emeritus of earth sciences and engineering, noted a unique characteristic that he noticed about Dunahee.
“Kaitlyn has so many remarkable dimensions,” Flori wrote. “As one example, she took four years of Chinese in high school and knows enough Mandarin Chinese to interact some with our Chinese students at S&T. She’s a busy student working to make everything and everyone around her better.”

Students receive Beavers Charitable Trust scholarships
Civil, architectural and environmental engineering students Rachael Puls and Rachel Winingear, received 2025 scholarships from the Beavers Foundation, a social, honorary organization formed, organized and managed by construction companies engaged in heavy engineering construction.
David Woods, executive director of the Beavers, presented the scholarships before the annual awards ceremony held in Los Angeles. Winingear and Puls were among 15 U.S. recipients to receive awards for their dedication and activity in the heavy construction and engineering industry.
“The Beavers Charitable Trust was started to encourage students to pursue careers in the heavy construction industry, says Woods. “The president of the Beavers in 1977 and the driving force for the trust was John Soult, a S&T graduate and Beavers’ executive director. So, this is a fitting legacy for the Miner students to be deservingly awarded these scholarships.”
Winingear has served as president of the American Engineering Institute (AEI) student chapter at S&T, was a member and officer of Chi Epsilon Honors Society, and completed two internships with Kiewit Corp. After earning her bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering in May 2025, she is now a building engineer with Kiewit in Houston.
Puls has served as an officer of American Society of Civil Engineering and completed internships with Rio Tinto and Burns and McDonnell and a co-op with Kiewit Corp. She is currently on a second internship with Burns and McDonnell and is set to

Missouri S&T teams win Mid-America ASCE Symposium
In April, over 30 members of the S&T student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers competed at the Mid-America Student Symposium in Nebraska. They competed against teams from 16 other Midwestern universities and brought home the trophy as the overall symposium winners. The Steel Bridge Design Team
This year’s bridge team was challenged to design a bridge over the South Skunk River in Iowa to connect walking trails in a park. The team came in first in construction speed, construction economy, lightness, stiffness, structural efficiency and cost estimation, earning first place overall in the competition.
STEEL BRIDGE
The S&T Steel Bridge Design Team, pictured above, placed fifth in the national competition, held in May at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. The fifth-place finish was a record for the S&T team, with a previous best result of twelfth place in 2004.
The Sustainable Solutions Team also placed third in competition. This year’s challenge was to present a proposal to adapt a hypothetical area of underused office buildings into mixed-use structures, taking the local environment and new infrastructure needs into account.
S&T students won the symposium’s FE Quiz Bowl, scoring highest on the preliminary multiple-choice test before dominating the Jeopardy-style final round with over twice as many points as the second-place university. The questions are modeled after the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying’s Fundamentals of Engineering exam, part of the process of becoming a licensed professional engineer.
DESIGN TEAMS ENGINEERS WITHOUT BORDERS
Each year we send our students to developing nations in Central and South America to work on projects focused on improving local living standards through engineering and construction projects carried out in collaboration with host communities.
ECUADOR TEAM
The Ecuador team established a new water system project with a community partner in Santa Rosa. In July, the team traveled for their assessment trip to interview households, land survey, and evaluate existing conditions. The team will use data and discussions to determine if the spring water is sufficient and the extent of replacements and repairs.
KENYA
TEAM
In January, the Kenya team completed its assessment trip for a potable water system project for a school in Awasi, Kenya. They conducted interviews to identify the water quality issues and
calculated elevations through land surveying of the school grounds. The team is looking forward to traveling again in January 2026 to begin phase one of a solar-powered pump groundwater well implementation.
GUATEMALA TEAM
The Guatemala team has been partnered with the Paraje Xecaxjoj community since November 2017. It has overseen the implementation of a new school building, kitchen, bathroom and erosion control wall for the community. The team plans to return in 2026 to interview community members to ensure that the new structures fulfill their long-term needs.
BOLIVIA TEAM
The Bolivia team is currently working on a sustainable water solution for a small, 300-person community located in the Bolivian Altiplano. After traveling in May 2025, the team is working diligently to design and implement the infrastructure to meet, and exceed, their water needs. The goal is to provide access to a safe and reliable water supply and equip the community to maintain the water solution.
Missouri S&T Solar House Design Team presented its latest project, Mission Turning Point, at the 2024-25 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon in Golden, Colo.
Six students from the team traveled to the competition to present the team’s design before a panel of judges.
Inspired by the growing challenge of housing instability, Mission Turning Point was developed as a sustainable, energy-efficient solution designed to serve Rolla’s vulnerable populations.
The project featured a community of transitional housing, which would provide individuals with a vital stepping stone toward long-term stability and independence.
As the team looks ahead, its members are excited to offer tours of the Solar and Eco villages. The team invites all campus visitors to register and experience a showcase of the team’s legacy in sustainable design.

A gift of hydraulic engineering history
We received a gift of hydraulic engineering history from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Headquarters (USACE) — a hydraulic sediment response (HSR) model — that will be beneficial in demonstrating hydraulic engineering concepts to students and other guests. River engineers built these small scale HSR models for demonstrating the mechanics of a river or stream on an area the size of a normal tabletop. The models were used to design river training structures on the Mississippi River to improve navigation channels, reduce dredging and channel maintenance requirements, and to enhance the aquatic environment.
