Nanoscience & Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering

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.  

Nanoscience & Nanoengineering

The nanoscience and nanoengineering graduate programs at the 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 the South Dakota Mines.
