Bachelors Theses

 

This collection contains theses written by students of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy (now Missouri University of Science and Technology) as part of the bachelor’s degree requirement. Most are full-text. The earliest thesis, written in 1878, is one of several handwritten theses; these early works are being transcribed as a service to users and in order to enhance their discoverability.

Degrees were awarded in Ceramic Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy, Metallurgical Engineering, and Mining Engineering.
