This summer, Delaney Baumberger, a mechanical engineering graduate student at ����Ӱ��, spent ten weeks working among some of the nation’s top aerospace scientists at the Air Force Research Lab in Dayton, Ohio. Baumberger and her adviser, associate professor Jeffrey Doom, collaborated with Air Force Research Lab researchers to run advanced computational fluid dynamics simulations for hypersonic scramjet engines, experimental engines that burn fuel at speeds above Mach 5. Their work explored how engine geometry affects combustion stability and performance at extreme speeds. .

����Ӱ��'s Haarberg Drug, Disease and Delivery Research Center is spurring economic development as it progresses in finding new treatments for cancer and other diseases.

Nurses with bachelor’s degrees who are looking for additional paths for advancing their careers can find options in ����Ӱ��’s College of Nursing.

Students, researchers and industry professionals from around the country gathered at ����Ӱ�� on Oct. 14 for the 2025 South Dakota Student Water Conference. The daylong event was designed to empower the next generation of water research professionals.

The South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and South Dakota State Foundation Seed Stocks Division have released a new wheat variety to seed producers. The new hard red winter line will be available for farmers to purchase for fall 2026 planting.

New research from ����Ӱ��'s Ness School of Management and Economics finds that cost share programs help farmers overcome barriers to cover crop adoption and creates momentum for non-cost share participants to also adopt the practice.

In the early 2000s, ����Ӱ�� used the tagline “You can go anywhere from here” in a number of ads to feature students and alumni who used SDSU as a launching pad to a variety of study abroad locations and high-profile careers. One of the featured students was Ryan Lefers, a farm kid from Corsica studying agricultural engineering, who had participated in a study abroad program in Egypt. The North African country would be just the start of Lefers’ Middle Eastern adventures.

Kinchel Doerner named program director for research integrity and compliance

Before South Dakota was a state, before the Dakota Agricultural College became ����Ӱ�� and even before the United States Weather Bureau, the precursor to the National Weather Service, was formed, there were people who recognized the value of collecting weather data. The first iteration of a weather station in Brookings began recording daily temperature and precipitation totals on July 1, 1888.

Four new faculty members have joined the Lohr College of Engineering this fall.
