A proud tradition of
research. Whether it’s a manned voyage
to Mars, using DNA-based forensics to fight terrorism, or simply designing a
truly environment-friendly SUV, the simple fact is that tomorrow’s leaders
will be those skilled enough, curious enough, intelligent enough, to
research ... discover ... and invent tomorrow. At the School of Mines, these are the
kind of scientists, engineers, and leaders we’ve been graduating since 1885.

More than a hundred years later, our commitment to research and development continues
to result in powerful economic, social, and lifestyle benefits for the region,
the state, and the nation. In fact, we receive
more than $10 million annually in research funding from a variety of
organizations including NASA, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the National
Science Foundation, and the State of South Dakota.
What do you have in mind?
As an
undergraduate or graduate student at the School of Mines, you’ll work in
high-tech laboratories and routinely collaborate with faculty on cutting-edge
scientific research and development initiatives in the fields that interest you.
Our students research everything from national
defense to nanotechnology to remote sensing, global warming, fiber-reinforced
composites, ultra-lightweight space systems, futuristic transportation, energy
resource development, and mineral extraction and processing.
Students design, build,
and test alternative fuel vehicles at our
Center of Excellence for Advanced
Manufacturing and Production (CAMP), win international engineering competitions,
make presentations at national conferences, and conduct research at off-campus
sites as far away as Norway, Guatemala, Mozambique, and Mongolia.
Eager to build a better world?
At the
School of Mines, we believe that the next big leap in the quality of human life
could very well depend on you. So if you’re curious about tomorrow, why not
help invent it?
