Research Opportunities
Work with our renowned faculty and collaborate on groundbreaking projects that address
real-world challenges. The hands-on experience and expertise you will acquire here
will not only contribute to your academic growth but also prepare you for successful
careers in academia, industry, or government agencies.
At South Dakota Mines, we offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees in biomedical
engineering that equip our graduates to enter a growing career field where healthcare
and engineering intersect.
The nanoscience and nanoengineering graduate programs at South Dakota Mines focus
on nanoscience and nanotechnology. The goal of nanoscience and nanotechnology is to
manipulate matter at the atomic and “nano” length scales (dimensions from a few to
hundreds of atomic radii), e.g., the molecular to mesoscopic levels, where new materials
and phenomena have been discovered.
The research required to engineer systems at these length scales will require professionals
with a broad understanding of fundamental principles and the ability to cross-over
into other fields. The nano program provides the training to allow scientists and
engineers to address these challenges and the opportunity for students to engage in
such research at South Dakota Mines.
