GE Aviation today announces the selection of Missouri University
of Science and Technology (formerly the University of Missouri-Rolla)
for a new University Development Center to be located in Rolla. The
new facility is projected to include at least 30 engineering positions
within two years.
"The engineering curriculum and academics at Missouri S&T are
complementary to the skill set and requirements within our aerospace
programs," commented Stuart Mullan, president of the digital systems
business of GE Aviation. "We have a great appreciation for what
students can contribute. This center will create a strong pool of
emerging engineers to provide design and development work for our
aerospace programs."
The engineering staff at GE's University Development Center will
perform various engineering services including software development,
verification and validation, mechanical design and hardware design. GE
is currently reviewing location options and plans on occupying the
Center in the second quarter of 2008.
Missouri S&T Chancellor John F. Carney III said, "The selection of
Missouri S&T and Rolla as the site for GE Aviation's University
Development Center is a credit to both the quality of the students and
faculty of the institution and the community. We are pleased to be
partners with GE, clearly one of the world's leading corporations, in
this endeavor and look forward to a long and successful relationship."
The Missouri Department of Economic Development, the City of
Rolla, Phelps County and the University's office of Technology
Commercialization and Economic Development collaborated to bring a GE
Aviation University Development Center to Rolla.
Rolla Regional Economic Commission's Executive Director Elizabeth
Bax commented, "This is such a perfect example of what can happen when
we pool our resources and work with the University. Our economic
development efforts have made a strong recognition of the fact that a
sustainable economic development strategy will make heavy use of the
tremendous asset of the University as a source of recruitment targets,
as well as an asset to advertise to potential employers."
GE plans to actively recruit Missouri S&T students for
internships, co-ops and entry level positions for May 2008. Applicants

This project is administered through the Systems division of GE
Aviation in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
