Seven University of North Dakota students have been selected as semifinalists in the U.S. Department of Defense’s SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program.

Hallie Chelmo, assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering, and David Delene, research professor of Atmospheric Sciences, have been awarded $750,000 from the Office of Naval Research to study how ice crystals form in the atmosphere and how they impact hypersonic vehicles. Such vehicles include certain missiles, military vehicles, and spacecraft reentering earth’s atmosphere.

During Engineers Week, referred to as E-Week at UND, student organizations across the college are hosting a series of events from Feb 21-24. Come join us at one (or more!) of these events during E-Week at UND, sponsored by the Dean’s Engineering Council.

This scholarship provides financial assistance to Indigenous students in CEM. Awards are based on financial need, academic performance, participation in AISES and other Indigenous student organizations, and community outreach events.

A centennial milestone later, UND civil engineering students are still find community and success among their peers.

In ASCE’s Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, a Civil Engineering Ph.D. graduate’s dissertation has been featured as the Editor’s Choice paper.

Participation is completely voluntary, and your answers will be anonymous. After completing the survey, you can enter your email address if you want to be entered into a random drawing for one of four $25 Amazon gift cards.

Johannes Van der Watt, research assistant professor at UND’s Institute of Energy Studies, has been awarded more than $1.25 million in funding to study the feasibility of using industrial residues to capture carbon dioxide in a solid form—and then using that solid in a beneficial way.

North Dakota has become synonymous with developing and testing uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), and now this technology is being put to use on the University of North Dakota campus to help reduce energy costs and assist with infrastructure repairs and improvements.

Sougata Roy, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, received nearly $250,000 to study how additive manufacturing (AM) processes can be used to make the nuclear reactor components. Additive manufacturing is a process not dissimilar to how a 3D printer makes plastic objects.
