Bob MacNeal’s Education

University of Minnesota-Twin Cities

Civil Engineering 1982 — 1989

My undergraduate degree is in Geological Enginnering from the University of Minnesota (1982-86). From 1986-89 I was a graduate student under Dr. Otto Strack in the Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering at the University of Minnesota. My area of interest was the mathematical modeling of groundwater flow.
Montana State University-Bozeman

1975 — 1980

My first undergraduate degree was in Film & Television at Montana State University. I was particularly interested in photography and creative writing. I took several fine arts classes and considered myself to be a "creative type". I loved it, but I was unemployable.
