For their senior engineering project, five UND students built a prosthetic partial hand, shown here. The device is strapped to the hand of the subject, a local man whose left hand lacks a ring and pinky finger. Also shown is the EMG or electromyography sensor that detects signals from the muscles in the man’s wrist, […]

Bismarck State College (BSC) and the University of North Dakota (UND) have created a collaborative engineering program that will result in a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from UND, earned on the BSC campus. On Tuesday, Jan. 26, leaders from the two institutions signed an agreement that will create a pathway for students to […]

UND nabs $5M contract to develop augmented reality tech for U.S. Army UND and its research partners have been awarded a $5 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense to develop augmented reality technology for U.S. Army vehicles. The university, along with AM General and ARA, will be developing technology that will allow soldiers […]

Returning UND student will use Open Door Scholarship to spare other mothers what she’s been through. I admit, it must have been a sight to see: I was launching a backpack into a tree in hopes of freeing a mitt that a tee-ball player had gotten stuck after a game – an innocent experiment gone […]

Respected by educators and engineering professionals alike, Dr. Ranganathan’s attention to the individual growth of his students is what sets him apart – like mentoring Native American students on the benefits of STEM for tribal populations and creating collaborative learning experiences in and outside of the classroom.
