Our SSE students had a blast at Boot Camp, getting a sneak peek at UMKC life before classes even started! From hands-on labs and interactive lectures to mock exams (don't worry, no grades!), students got an early taste of what it's like to be a Roo.

And yes, they even practiced juggling. College is all about balancing priorities, after all!

SSE students Isabel Holthouse and Dominic Colbert turned their summer internships into opportunities to explore their career goals and build real-world experience.

Isabel Holthouse was a mechanical engineering intern in the technical engineering department at HESStec in Valencia, Spain, where she contributed to the design of hybrid energy storage solutions connecting the electrical grid and electric vehicle charging stations. Through her work at HESStec, she gained invaluable international experience in hybrid energy storage and collaborated with engineers from across Europe and Latin America, broadening both her technical knowledge and global perspective.

Dominic Colbert is an application developer intern on Evergy's Power Marketing team, where he has automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and self-hosted runners to streamline .NET application deployments. He also contributed to the modernization of the team's XML processor for Evergy's Energy Management Agreement Portal. Continuing with the team through the fall semester, he is currently leading a migration of application authentication from SAML to MSAL.

Sometimes support comes on four paws. Meet Holly, the service dog helping UMKC student Mollie Stark navigate life with Type 1 diabetes.

When Mollie needed her service dog by her side in organic chemistry lab, UMKC found a way to make it work. Through collaboration across campus, faculty and staff created a framework that supports both safety and accessibility for future students.

Every internship tells a different story, but each one brings SSE students one step closer to their career goals.

Kramer Ennis is a fixtures design intern on the visual merchandising team at Hallmark HQ. He's learned a great deal, especially about how engineers impact the business and how the company manufactures over 9 million cards each week using custom Hallmark-designed machines.

Cameron Akhtar is currently a power trading intern at Evergy. He is gaining hands-on experience writing Python pipelines to ingest real-time grid data and build predictive machine learning models. Recently, he engineered a mid-frequency algorithmic trading strategy designed to capture short-term trends in wholesale electricity markets.

UMKC is leading a major national effort to strengthen the U.S. supply chain. The Critical Materials Crossroads Engine team, led by UMKC, has been selected as one of 12 winners of the $160 million National Science Foundation Regional Innovation Engines award.

Critical minerals such as nickel, cobalt and magnesium power everything from microchips and batteries to electric vehicles and energy infrastructure. Today, the United States imports more than two-thirds of these materials, creating risk across industries and national security.

Associate professor Mostafizur Rahman, Ph.D., serves as a co-principal investigator and chief technology officer on the project, and other SSE leadership and faculty members are also contributing their expertise to the effort.

The Critical Materials Crossroads was formed as UMKC recognized an opportunity to make an impact by bringing together the Kansas City ecosystem, leveraging regional strengths and building a more sustainable supply chain. This work includes processing, manufacturing, innovation, scaling and workforce development related to critical materials.
