| Transcript | 61 Atmospheric Sciences Minor Atmospheric Sciences Minor Contact Information Dr. William J. Capehart Department of Atmospheric Sciences Mineral Industries 213 (605) 394-2291 E-mail: William.Capehart@sdsmt.edu Faculty Professor Detwiler; Emeritus Professors Helsdon, Hjelmfelt, Smith; Associate Professors Capehart; Kliche, Sundareshwar; Instructor Clabo; Adjunct Professors Mazur, Zimmerman. The purpose of the atmospheric sciences curriculum is to educate students to the level of scientists and engineers who are capable of developing and applying knowledge concerning physical, dynamical, and chemical processes in the atmosphere. Undergraduate minor in Atmospheric Sciences A minor in atmospheric sciences is offered to any student enrolled in any undergraduate degree program that allows minors at the School of Mines. For some majors this would require an additional semester or more of study beyond the normal four years. A minimum of 18 credits in atmospheric science course work must be earned. Two courses, Introduction to Atmospheric Sciences (ATM 301) and Global Environmental Change (ATM 406) are required for the minor. Specialization in Atmospheric Sciences within the Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Sciences degree program Students in the Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Sciences (IS) degree program may choose a specialization in atmospheric sciences. The successful student is expected to be capable of independent and critical thinking in the areas of physical, synoptic, and dynamic meteorology; remote sensing; and global atmospheric change. As such, the student should be qualified for employment where expertise in atmospheric sciences is a primary requirement, though need not necessarily qualify as a meteorologist by the federal government's criteria. The curriculum also is suitable for preparation toward graduate study at the M.S. and Ph.D. level. The IS Bachelor of Science degree program offers a specialization in atmospheric sciences. General requirements for a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Sciences are described on page 110. Required course work for the atmospheric sciences specialization includes Degree: meteorology, atmospheric science, or other natural science major that includes 1) All courses and other curriculum requirements for the general IS degree requirement. 2) The atmospheric sciences undergraduate series: ATM 301, ATM 401, ATM 404, ATM 406, ATM 430, ATM 450, ATM 450L, ATM 455, ATM 455L, ATM 460 62 Atmospheric Sciences Minor 3) The following mathematics and science courses (which may require additional prerequisites): BIOL 311, CHEM 114, CHEM 114L, CSC 150, PHYS 213, PHYS 213L, MATH 225, MATH 321 4) Sufficient professional development electives for a total of 128 academic credit hours. Federal Certifications as a Meteorologist Students in the undergraduate minor or IS programs desiring to be qualified for federal employment as meteorologists (with the National Weather Service or other federal government agencies employing meteorologists) should contact a Department of Atmospheric Sciences advisor to ensure that their plan of study meets the strictly enforced civil service requirements. The IS ATM academic program for catalog year 2010 satisfies these requirements. The basic requirements for federal civil service qualification as a meteorologist (as dictated by the United States Office of Personnel Management): Degree: meteorology, atmospheric science, or other natural science major that includes A. At least 24 semester hours (36 quarters) of credit in atmospheric science/meteorology including a minimum: 1. Six semester hours of atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics 2. Six semester hours of analysis and prediction of weather systems (synoptic/mesoscale) 3. Three semester hours of physical meteorology and 4. Two semester hours of remote sensing of atmosphere and/or instrumentation B. Six semester hours of physics, with at least one course that includes laboratory sessions C. Three semester hours of ordinary differential equations D. At least 9 semester hours of course work appropriate for a physical science major in any combination of three or more of the following: physical hydrology, statistics, chemistry, physical oceanography, physical climatology, radiative transfer, aeronomy, advanced thermodynamics, advanced electricity and magnetism, light and optics, and computer science. OR: Combination of education and experience-course work as shown in A above, plus appropriate experience or additional education. Note: There is a prerequisite or corequisite of calculus, physics, and differential equations for course work in atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics. Calculus courses must be appropriate for a physical science major. Atmospheric sciences undergraduate curriculum scheduling It is the student's responsibility to check with his or her advisor in the atmospheric sciences department for any course offering or other program modifications that may occur after the publication of this catalog. Most courses are offered only every other year. Attention must be paid to this two-year cycle in planning a program of study. Master of Science Graduate Degree Program A master of science graduate program in the atmospheric sciences is offered to students with undergraduate degrees in atmospheric sciences or meteorology, physics, mathematical sciences, biology, chemistry, or engineering. A resident undergraduate student in any of these fields may take upper-division courses in meteorology as electives, either as part of the minor or otherwise, and proceed directly to graduate work in meteorology upon receipt of the bachelor's degree. In addition to meeting the goals listed above for undergraduate minor and IS atmospheric science graduates, the master of science graduate will be able to review the literature; devise strategies for attacking a problem in atmospheric sciences; acquire, organize, and interpret data; and prepare results for both oral and written presentation. He or she is expected to be able to carry out such original investigations both individually and as a member 63 Atmospheric Sciences Minor of a team. A master of science degree requires 24 credit hours of course work, with an additional 6 semester hours of research credit for completing a thesis. There are two specializations in the program, meteorology and earth systems, with a common core of three courses shared by both specializations. See page 163 for more details. A properly-prepared undergraduate science or engineering graduate with minimal meteorological background may use the M.S. program to complete sufficient course work to satisfy the federal civil service requirements for employment as a meteorologist. The M.S. program can be a stepping-stone to Ph.D. work in the atmospheric and environmental sciences, as well as a terminal degree leading to employment in private industry or government. Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Graduate Program In addition to the M.S. program in atmospheric sciences, the atmospheric sciences department participates in the Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences (AES) Ph.D. program. Faculty in several departments are involved in delivering the program, including chemistry and chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, mining and engineering management, geology and geological engineering, and atmospheric sciences. Degree candidates are expected to complete courses in a broad range of topics selected from these disciplines. For complete information on the AES program, please refer to the AES section of this catalog beginning on page 159. 64 Biology Biology Contact Information Dr. Sookie S.

Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) offers a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering which is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone: (410) 347-7700. CBE also offers a M.S. degree in Chemical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering. Our department name, Chemical and Biological Engineering, reflects the forward-looking integration of chemical engineering, chemical sciences and biological sciences. What is Chemical Engineering? Chemical Engineering (ChE) is an optimal combination of the molecular sciences (chemistry and biology), the physical sciences (physical chemistry and physics), the analytical sciences (math and computer programming) and engineering. Chemical Engineering focuses on the description and design of processes that combine engineering principles of heat and fluid flow with chemical reactions and molecular separations to produce high-value products useful to humankind from multiple raw material sources. Chemical Engineers do this while always insuring that the processes they design, build and manage are safe, environmentally benign and economical. Examples of such processes include: Artificial organs and biomedicine Bioenergy production 67 Chemical Engineering B.S. Biological fermentation Ceramic manufacturing Energetic materials production Food processing Microprocessor manufacturing Mineral and ore refining Oil and natural gas refining Paper manufacturing Pharmaceutical design and manufacturing Polymer production Polymer composites production Nanomaterials manufacturing Designing and modeling such processes requires a strong fundamental understanding of the chemical and biological phenomena at work. ChE students develop a wide range of problem solving skills grounded in mathematics and computer analysis techniques. ChE graduates are recruited for their technical engineering knowledge as well as their problem solving, systems analysis, and communication skills. What do chemical engineers do? ChE graduates work in a wide variety of manufacturing, process design, and research fields. The unique combination of molecular sciences and engineering analysis make ChE professionals highly qualified for many career options varying from challenging engineering occupations in chemical, petroleum, mineral processing, pharmaceutical, food processing, biotechnology, semiconductor, defense, and alternative fuel industries to governmental and academic positions. Recent graduates from SDSM&T have gone to work in ChE positions at companies like ADM, Dakota Gasification, Dow Chemical, Dow Corning, Cargill, Caterpillar, Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold, Halliburton, Lafarge, Lyondell-Basel, Michelin, POET, Quadra Mining, SD DENR, Solvay Chemicals and many others. CBE alumni also regularly pursue graduate education at many of the country's top research institutions such as Stanford and the University of Wisconsin. To delve deeper into the board range of exciting careers available to you in chemical engineering go to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers website www.aiche.org) and pull down Career Resources/Career Facts then click on "Chemical Engineers in Action: Innovation at Work" (http://www.chemicalengineering.org/). You will find that if you wish to be engaged in discovering answers to the World's pressing engineering challenges, Chemical Engineering is the field for you (http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/cms/challe nges.aspx). Another attribute that sets Chemical Engineering apart from many other engineering career paths is that chemical engineering opens doors to other professions. The problem solving skills and process analysis tools developed in the Chemical Engineering curriculum make ChE grads uniquely suited to pursue careers as doctors, patent lawyers, business managers, financial analysts, marketing directors, environmental stewards, policy makers, and philanthropy directors. What will I learn as a ChE student? ChE students take multiple courses in chemistry and biology to develop a fundamental understanding of the molecular sciences. The program includes physics, math, and computer courses to provide the analytical tools required to design processes. Finally the core Chemical Engineering curriculum includes engineering courses in thermodynamics, heat and mass transport, fluid dynamics, chemical reaction kinetics and reactor design, molecular separations and unit operations, and process design and control. Elective courses are also available to provide specialization in sub-areas such as advanced materials (e.g. nanomaterials and polymers), biochemical engineering, and environmental engineering.

Chemical Engineering Curriculum/Checklist The courses listed in the curriculum have been chosen to develop a well-rounded education, beginning with the foundations of mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry, and culminating with a capstone process design course at the senior level. Along the way, students develop competencies in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, thermodynamics, computer solutions to complex engineering problems, process control, kinetics, and reactor design, all while developing their critical thinking, general problem solving and communication skills. Although a minor in chemical engineering is not available, you can obtain an emphasis in emerging areas such as biochemical engineering, environmental engineering, or advanced materials by tailoring their elective courses. Students in the SDSM&T B.S. environmental engineering program may elect chemical engineering as their emphasis. With the increased national attention on the environment, the opportunity exists at SDSM&T for you to earn dual degrees in chemical engineering and environmental engineering, thus coupling a focus on the environment with complementary chemical processing and design skills. The chemical engineering faculty at the SDSM&T keep the curriculum current and dynamic. As a part of this evolutionary process, the faculty continues to develop innovative approaches to teaching chemical engineering lectures and laboratories. An example of this is the integration of process design and simulation throughout the chemical engineering laboratory experiences. Sophisticated process design simulators (such as the commercial software, AspenPlus and COMSOL), are being co-integrated with process design projects. Major funding for this development came from the National Science Foundation and from industrial sponsors. The chemical engineering faculty is also involved in the university's Tablet PC Program. Tablet PCs have been used to explore new ways to deliver courses and integrate sophisticated process software. In addition, the SDSM&T offers the opportunity for students and professors to interact in small groups and individual learning sessions. Students are responsible for checking with their advisors for any program modifications that may occur after the publication of this catalog.

To serve the State of South Dakota and the nation by providing training and education that will benefit the planning, design, construction and maintenance of facilities essential to civilization. The principal goals in support of the civil engineering program's mission are: 1. To enhance our state and national recognition as an outstanding civil engineering program that provides well- prepared employees to the civil engineering profession. 2. To develop centers of excellence in research and graduate education, using faculty expertise to further develop interdisciplinary research. 3. To create and maintain an environment that ensures growth of the intellect, character, and spirit of students as well as faculty and staff members. 4. To build mutually beneficial partnerships with the broader community. 5. To increase the resources available to the department and the civil engineering program. Civil Engineering Program Objectives The goal of the civil and environmental engineering program with regard to undergraduate education is to produce graduates with capabilities to 1. engage in the professional practice of civil engineering within the region working in the public or private sector, 2. actively participate in professional organizations that promote civil engineering and provide continuing self-development, and 75 Civil Engineering B.S. 3. pursue advanced studies in civil engineering or a related professional discipline. These program objectives can also be found on the CEE website http://cee.sdsmt.edu and are stated in departmental informational materials. Graduates of the civil engineering program are expected to be competent for entry-level professional practice in four major areas of civil engineering 1) environmental, 2) geotechnical, 3) structural, and 4) water resources. In the senior year, students have two civil engineering focus electives and three department-approved electives. Students have the option of emphasizing in one of the focus areas. Students can also choose a general civil engineering option, selecting a mix of approved elective courses. Focus electives can be in one or two of the four major areas. Department approved electives can be in one or more of the four major civil engineering focus areas or can be courses from outside the department that support the students' focus area. This provides the student the option of keeping breadth in their study program or emphasizing in one focus area. Studies in these areas culminate in major engineering design experiences to help bridge the gap between education and professional practice. Civil Engineering Program Outcomes Program outcomes as stated here define what students are expected to know or be able to do by graduation. The civil engineering program has adopted the program outcomes established by ABET, through its Criterion 3. Achieving these outcomes establishes the foundation for achieving program objectives.

Required civil engineering courses address the emphasis areas of environmental, geotechnical, structural, and water resource engineering. Each student is asked to choose one or more of these areas as an emphasis from which elective courses are selected at the senior level. Alternatively, they may complete courses in several of the areas for a broad-based civil engineering emphasis. The graduate program affords an opportunity for qualified students to pursue their academic training to a more specialized and advanced level for higher professional attainment. The bachelor of science program in civil engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 – telephone (410) 347-7700. 76 Civil Engineering B.S. Integration of Design into the Civil Engineering Curriculum The curriculum in the civil engineering program begins by giving the student a thorough knowledge in mathematics and basic sciences. Courses in the engineering sciences begin the transition from theory to creative application. During their junior year, students complete required courses in four major areas of the civil engineering program: environmental, geotechnical, structural, and water resources engineering. In each of these courses, students learn to apply mathematics, science, and engineering science to the solution of civil engineering problems, to employ learning the fundamental elements of engineering design. During their senior year, students complete five elective courses. The small enrollments in these courses allows for more individualized interaction between students and faculty. As seniors, students get an even more intense design experience, learning about alternative solutions, feasibility, economics, and detailed design via a two-semester capstone design course. Students work in groups to complete a meaningful major engineering design project that draws upon previous course work. The capstone design experience culminates with a formal final report and a presentation to the faculty and the students' peers. Laboratories The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering maintains separate laboratories equipped for materials testing, study of fluid flow and hydraulic systems, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, structural engineering design, and computer-aided design. The comparatively rugged terrain on and near the campus offers excellent opportunity for a variety of practice in surveying methods and techniques. Professionalism For promotion of professional and cultural ethics and specialties in the profession, students in civil engineering are encouraged to participate in the technical and professional activities of the Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Students are required to complete the fundamentals of engineering examination as the first step in becoming a registered professional engineer. Because there is a human side to engineering, students are required to complete courses in the humanities and social sciences. Students also complete required sophomore and senior courses that directly address professionalism and engineering ethics. They are also exposed to these ideas throughout the engineering curriculum. A minor in civil engineering is not available.

Contact Information Dr. Henry V. Mott, Program Coordinator Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Civil/Mechanical 123 (605) 394-5170 E-mail: Henry.Mott@sdsmt.edu Management Committee Professors Davis (GEOE), Gribb (CEE), Mott (CEE); Associate Professors Menkhaus (CBE), Stone (CEE); Assistant Professors Benning (CEE), Cross (MET); Instructor Kanth (MEM). Environmental Engineering Environmental engineers serve our society at the most fundamental level in caring for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil in which we grow our food. Environmental engineers solve existing and prevent future environmental problems. Students in the B.S. Environmental Engineering program will be educated in higher mathematics, basic sciences, engineering sciences, and engineering design. The experience will be augmented by applied laboratory courses at the freshman through senior levels. Students will use computers in virtually all engineering course work. Fundamental environmental engineering course work will involve heat and mass transfer, classical and chemical thermodynamics, ground-water and surface-water hydrology, and environmental systems analysis. Each student will participate in a two-semester capstone design experience that will involve work with a multidisciplinary team on the solution to a significant environmental problem. Achieving program educational outcomes will prepare the graduate to work in industry, consulting, or government, and to bring knowledge and principles to bear upon the solution to legacy and current as well as to the prevention of future environmental problems. In order to develop a technical link with one of five disciplines closely related to environmental engineering, each student will complete a nine-credit elective set delivered by one of five supporting programs. This course work prepares the student to cooperatively work alongside engineers of the supporting discipline in solution of environmental problems. Supporting programs include 1. Chemical Engineering — The application of chemical, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering principles to the environmentally safe production of a wide range of products including pharmaceuticals for human consumption, materials for electronic applications, and energy to power our society. 2. Civil Engineering — Engineering our society's infrastructure through treatment of water for potable use, renovation of waste waters generated by domestic and industrial users, safe handling (both disposal and recycling) of solid and hazardous wastes generated by society, clean-up of existing environmental pollution, and general stewardship of the Earth's land and water resources. 3. Geological Engineering — Engineering for the environmentally sound use and conservation of the Earth's natural resources including development of ground-water supplies, cleanup of contaminated aquifers, isolation of hazardous wastes, and exploration for and development of mineral or petroleum resources. 4. Materials and Metallurgical Engineering — development and implementation of environmentally sound processes for producing 91 Environmental Engineering B.S. the metals, ceramics, and composite materials used by our society, and leadership in the area of recycling of materials for re-use by society. 5. Mining Engineering — The development of mining and reclamation plans that ensure environmentally sound mining operations and that the Earth and oceans are returned to environmentally acceptable conditions upon the completion of mining activities. The objective of the environmental engineering program is to provide graduates with an educational foundation that will enable them to engage in the professional practice of environmental engineering within the public or private sector, or complete advanced studies in either environmental engineering or a related professional discipline. The bachelor of science program in environmental engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 – telephone (410) 347-7700. Graduates of this program are expected to: 1. Ethically apply, as appropriate in applicable global and contemporary societal contexts, principles from mathematics, the natural sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences, to the definition, formulation, and solution of both existing and potential environmental problems. 2. Develop, interpret, and utilize appropriate laboratory process data; think critically; and use modern engineering skills, techniques, and tools in the iterative decision-making process associated with environmental engineering design. 3. Work and learn, on a lifelong basis, both independently and cooperatively with peers. 4. Communicate the results of their work and their ideas effectively, both orally and in written form, to peers and to non-technical audiences. Minor in Geospatial Technology Geospatial technology is a rapidly expanding field that covers the management and analysis of spatial data from many sources, such as satellites, airborne remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), surveying, and more. Students in environmental engineering may find this minor a useful complement to their studies. Complete information on the requirements is given in the Geology B.S. section. A minor is not available in environmental engineering. Cooperative Education Program Students may participate in the Cooperative Education Internship Program, but credits earned are not applicable for degree credit. Laboratories Laboratories maintained by the chemical and biological, civil and environmental, geological, materials and metallurgical, and mining engineering programs are equipped with modern analytical instrumentation. Descriptions of these laboratories are given elsewhere in respective sections of this catalog. These laboratories are utilized both in graduate and undergraduate research and in association with undergraduate courses to enhance student understanding of critical phenomena. Computational laboratories maintained by all 5 programs are equipped with modern personal and workstation computing equipment. These computers are networked with the university's file server.

Geology and Paleontology The program in geology and paleontology fully utilizes the magnificent geologic setting of the Black Hills and Badlands, and the extensive fossil and mineral specimens in the Museum of Geology. We train students for careers in the geosciences including environmental applications, mineral and petroleum exploration, governmental agencies, museums, academic fields, teaching, and entrepreneurship. Both undergraduate and graduate programs are available. Choosing a career focus Many different types of career opportunities are open to students in the geosciences. Students complete a core of geology courses to solidly prepare them for one of the many potential careers in the geosciences. Additional electives are chosen to focus on a particular career path and best prepare the student for employment or graduate school. Students may focus in one of four career paths or select electives from two or more foci depending on their career interests. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their advisor in selecting a focus and electives. Resource Geology This focus prepares students for careers with the traditional employers of geologists--the mining and petroleum industries. Graduates may work to find oil or mineral resources, assist with extracting them, or develop new types of resources such as coal bed methane or oil shales. Recommended electives for resource geology include: MEM 201 Mine Surveying MEM 433 Geoscience Modeling GEOE 324 Eng Geophysics I# GEOE 425 Eng Geophysics II GEOE 451 Economic Geology GEOE 452 Geochemical Exploration GEOE 462 Drilling Engineering GEOE 461 Petroleum Production GEOL 351 Earth Resources GEOL 413 Ore Microscopy GEOL 442 Optical Petrology Paleontology This focus area trains students for careers studying ancient organisms and their environments. Graduates will often go to graduate school to develop research careers, but opportunities are also available to work in museums, parks, or with consulting firms that survey and preserve fossil resources prior to construction projects. Paleontology students will work closely with Museum of Geology facilities 97 Geology B.S. and Minor and personnel. Recommended electives for paleontology include: BIOL 121/L Anatomy BIOL 151 Gen Biology I BIOL 123 Physiology BIOL 153 Gen Biology II BIOL 311 Principles of Ecology GEOL 371 Field Paleontology GEOL 372 Dinosaurs GEOL 472 Museum Conservation & Curation GEOL 473 Museum Prep and Exhibit Design Environmental Geology This focus prepares students for work developing and preserving natural resources including ground water and soils. Students may work for environmental firms, or could do environmental work for petroleum and mineral companies. Many government agencies also hire graduates with these skills. Recommended electives for environmental geology include: GEOL 351 Earth Resources GEOE 425 Engineering Geophysics II GEOE 466 Eng/Environmental Geol GEOE 462 Drilling Engineering GEOE 468 Geohazards GEOE 475 Ground Water GEOE 482 Applied Geomorphology Geospatial Technology This focus supplies additional training for students interested in careers that involve remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems. Most geoscience careers require basic knowledge of GIS, but additional training opens new career options for students who enjoy mapping and computers. Graduates may work in traditional petroleum, mining, or environmental companies, for government agencies, or within the geospatial industry that provides and manages maps and imagery to the world. Recommended electives for geospatial technology include: MEM 201 Mine Surveying GEOE 475 Ground Water GEOL 376 Geospatial Field Methods GEOL 417 Geospatial Databases GEOL 419 Adv Geospatial Analysis GEOL 420 Remote Sensing Geology majors can simultaneously satisfy elective requirements for the Geology B.S. and a Minor in Geospatial Technology by taking GEOL 417, GEOL 419, GEOL 420, and two courses from: MEM 201, MATH 281, GEOE 475*, or GEOL 376. Students considering the geospatial minor should take GEOL 316 Intro to GIS by their junior fall. Advanced Degrees This B.S. in Geology can provide a pathway to professional careers in teaching, law, or medicine. For careers in science education, students should consult teaching programs at other colleges for auxiliary education courses that would be needed for teacher certification. With some adaptation, this degree can provide a foundation for professional graduate degrees such as medicine or law. Graduate programs, both master's and doctoral, are available and involve additional specialization in geology or paleontology. They commonly include research on regional or local problems. Analytical and computational facilities in the department and related departments include the electron microprobe, heating-cooling fluid inclusion stage, AA-ICP, XRD, SEM, TEM, the Geographic Information Systems/ Remote Sensing Laboratory. The Museum of Geology holds over 300,000 fossil and mineral specimens that are available for educational and research use. Completion of graduate degrees leads to higher-level professional employment including college-level instruction. Professional Development The senior year culminates in an individual research project in which the student practices the professional accomplishments of project planning, organization, time management, and oral/written communication. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in professional societies active on campus, including the Tech Geological 98 Geology B.S. and Minor Association, the Society of Economic Geologists and the Paleontology Club. Paleontology students will have opportunities to volunteer or work on archival and research projects at the Museum of Geology. Internships in industry and government are commonly available and highly recommended.

Geological Engineering Geological engineering is the development and conservation of natural resources in ways useful to mankind. It encompasses diverse fields such as ground-water resources, subsurface contamination, slope stability, environmental site design, petroleum exploration and production, and mineral resources. The instruction in geological engineering provides training at both the undergraduate and graduate levels through the Ph.D. Geological Engineering Program Objectives The program educational objectives defined here describe the career and professional accomplishments that the geological engineering program is preparing graduates to achieve. 1. Graduates of the geological engineering program will perform competently in professional practice in the areas of: ● ground water ● environmental site planning and natural hazards ● geomechanics and geotechnics �� fuels or minerals 2. Graduates will demonstrate the ability to design and implement appropriate solutions to geological engineering problems, while exercising ethical responsibilities and continued professional development. In support of these objectives, the program in geological engineering provides students with: a) an understanding of the fundamental principles of geological engineering, basic engineering, and geology, b) academic training and design experiences to prepare them for engineering practice and career advancement in the geological engineering profession during their first several years of work, and c) an education that prepares them to pursue advanced studies if they so desire. 102 Geological Engineering B.S. Geological Engineering Education An integral part of the educational experience is development of the ability to design solutions for meeting desired needs in geological engineering work. The design component of the curriculum is developed within geological engineering courses that integrate basic science (including geology, chemistry, and physics) and engineering science (including statics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, and thermodynamics). This engineering design experience includes a two-semester capstone design sequence. The capstone engineering design courses build upon and integrate previous course work to prepare graduates for the professional practice of geological engineering. The nature of geological engineering is continually evolving as the needs of employers change in response to advances in technology and economic forces. To prepare adequately for careers in geological engineering, students must be willing to engage in life-long learning in order to embrace new technologies and to stay current within the engineering profession. Graduates with a broad range of skills, flexibility in learning new technologies, and sound training in fundamental principles can expect a competitive advantage in the job market and workplace. The bachelor of science program in geological engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 – telephone (410) 347-7700. A minor in geological engineering is not available. Professional Development Students in geological engineering are encouraged to participate in the Student Chapter of the Association of Engineering Geologists as well as to become student members of the National Ground Water Association, the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (SME), and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).

Industrial engineering and engineering management is concerned with the design, improvement, installation, and management of integrated systems of people, material, and equipment. Graduates of the program employ a set of skills that includes mathematical modeling, probability and statistics, computer science, human factors, interpersonal skills, project management, and an ability to manage and administer large technical engineering and research projects. Thus, industrial engineering and engineering management may be thought of as applied problem solving, from inception to implementation and management. Program Objectives The objectives of the industrial engineering and engineering management program are to produce graduates who: • Contribute to the success of companies through effective problem solving. • Design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment, and environments. • Effectively manage business operations and project management teams. • Continue to develop holistically, including the personal and professional skills necessary to adapt to our changing societal, technological, and global environments. Graduates of the industrial engineering and engineering management program are expected to be competent for entry-level professional practice and possess basic scientific and mathematical competence, be able to solve engineering problems, have the appropriate skills for contemporary engineering practice, and develop holistically as a learner. Education The curriculum is designed to give students a thorough knowledge in the fundamental principles within the four primary stems of industrial engineering: operations research and optimization, manufacturing, statistical processes, and human engineering. In addition, through a variety of course work and experiential learning activities, students develop an understanding of the engineering relationships with the management tasks of planning, leading, organizing, and controlling as well as the integrative nature of management systems. Throughout the program of studies, special emphasis is placed upon application of systems principles in engineering design to assure proper integration of the individual (or individuals), 107 Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management B.S. procedures, materials, and equipment. Service learning components, laboratories, case work, simulations, and the capstone design sequence reinforce the managerial aspects of systems integration, systems design, and the global, societal, and business context for product and process improvement. Students may participate in the Cooperative Education Internship Program. The co-op credits may count as approved engineering elective courses. The bachelor of science program in industrial engineering and engineering management is accredited for industrial engineering by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 – telephone (410) 347-7700. Laboratories The Human Engineering Laboratory supports the minor in occupational safety and courses in work methods and measurement, ergonomics/human factors engineering, safety engineering, and industrial hygiene. Laboratories typically include an enterprise team or service learning component that provide real world work experience. The Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory supports the computer controlled manufacturing course. Using modern equipment, students will utilize robots, material handling equipment, and computer numerically controlled machinery to design and fabricate a finished product. The Operational Strategies Laboratory complements computer-aided manufacturing but allows students to simulate large production systems to explore flexible manufacturing systems and strategies for lean manufacturing. Minor in Occupational Safety The minor in occupational safety is offered to students pursuing any B.S. degree program. The minimum math and science course requirements are CHEM 112/112L, MATH 123, PHYS 111 or 211, and MATH 281 or 381 or 441. Required courses are IENG 321/331/341, PSYC 331 or POLS 407, Senior Design or Senior Project in home department, and a minimum of 6 credit hours: BIOL 121/121L/123/123L, ENVE 7326, CHEM 114/114L, CHEM 480, CP 297/397/4971, IENG 4911, ME 380, MEM 203, PE 105, and PHYS 363. (Note 1: Pre-approved, significant safety content.) Thus, a total of at least 21 credit hours is needed for an occupational safety minor. A minor in occupational safety must be approved by the student's major department and the minor coordinator on a form available at the Office of the Registrar and Academic Services. Additional information may be found at the department website: http://ie.sdsmt.edu.
