One government program Bart helped Missouri S&T win is the Center for Aerospace Manufacturing Technology (CAMT) in Missouri S&T’s MAE department. This U.S. Air Forcefunded effort provided Missouri S&T over $18 million in U.S. government funding. Boeing, through Bart's efforts, provided required cost match funds for this joint effort. He served on the CAMT Executive Steering Committee overseeing the Center's technical efforts. CAMT is now an Academia/Industry/Government consortium at MS&T. Bart also served on the boards of several major Air Force and Navy technical centers. Bart continues to serve as Boeing's representative and the chairman of the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC) in the UK. He also does consulting work for Boeing, working with colleges to improve Boeing's recruiting efforts.
