Engineering Choices in South Dakota

Engineering Choices in South Dakota

I had someone ask me recently about choices for engineering in South Dakota and you have quite a few choices for an engineering major: 

1. The University of South Dakota just announced a new Biomedical Engineering degree. This field promises many new opportunities for its graduates. For more info see here - http://www.usd.edu/arts-and-sciences/biomedical-engineering

2. South Dakota State University has a large Engineering school - https://www.sdstate.edu/jerome-j-lohr-engineering
They offer degrees in:
Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering
Civil & Environmental Engineering
Construction and Operations Management
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Mechanical Engineering

3. School of Mines and Technology offers many Engineering degrees as well  -   http://www.sdsmt.edu/Academics/Degrees-and-Programs/

• Chemical Engineering

• Civil Engineering

• Computer Engineering

• Computer Science

• Electrical Engineering

• Geological Engineering

• Industrial Engineering & Engineering Mgmt

• Mechanical Engineering

• Metallurgical Engineering

• Mining Engineering

• Biomedical Engineering  

Always make sure your program is accredited and ask about their placement rate as it should be quite high since Engineers are in great demand in work force. Ask also about internships or working with actual employers to gain practical skills and application. Many times a student will land his or her first job from that internship.
