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. See: Requirements and Deadlines

Activities and Organizations
The "Nano Expo" is a student-led event held each spring to showcase the research activities of the program's graduate students. Prizes are awarded for the best presentations.
Each spring, Nano offers a seminar series, with presentations on Thursdays at 4 p.m., except for holidays. Anyone is welcome to attend. Seminar speakers, titles, and abstracts are emailed to the campus community each week.
