Benefits of becoming an industrial engineer

An industrial engineer applies science, math, and engineering methods by solving problems and eliminating waste for a company.

Researchers receive funding to turn waste into power source for space missions

The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology has been awarded $750,000 to develop an extreme biological system to turn solid waste into a power source to create an efficient alternative to the current processes using chemical fuel cells, such as hydrogen fuel cells, that require pure chemicals.

Antennas use phase-changing material to alter shapes, frequencies

Two antenna prototypes have been developed by researchers at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology using a special class of thin film material which allows them to alter their shape using temperature and radiate at varying frequencies within the GHz range.
