  • SDSU to offer new, future-focused healthcare systems engineering major effective fall 2025

    South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University will offer a Bachelor of Science in healthcare systems engineering beginning fall 2025 following South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Board of Regents approval on Dec. 12. Healthcare systems engineering is a unique, first-in-the-nation undergraduate degree, which will integrate engineering, computer science, data science and health sciences under one degree to prepare students for the emerging career fields.

  • Engineering the flow: SDSU models liquid argon inside DUNE

    A pair of South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University researchers are modeling the flow of liquid argon through the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) being built a mile under South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã’s Black Hills.

  • Liu honored by engineering educators

    Yucheng Liu, head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering, has become a Distinguished Member of the American Society for Engineering Education.
    He is in the first cohort to receive the title as this is a new designation for the organization, which seeks to advance engineering education at all levels of the profession. Liu has been a member since 2011 and has held offices in the organization since 2019.

  • Construction management and paper dolls

    In the tough and gritty world of construction, paper dolls would seem to be as out of place as steel-toed boots at a ballet performance. However, when four construction management students attended a recent skills competition, paper doll construction was among the activities.
    Of course, the South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University students weren’t putting dresses or bonnets on their dolls. In fact, their dolls weren’t even what Pinterest would call paper dolls.
    Their paper dolls were cut-out, scaled pieces of paper that represented tilt-up concrete panels on cast-on-site projects. The students and 16 others from other Midwest universities were taking part in the Region 4 Skills Summit sponsored by the Associated Schools of Construction.

  • Forum created to PItch entrepreneurial ideas

    PItch Day at SDSU, an opportunity for faculty members to share their entrepreneurial ideas, was revived Nov. 1 after being inactive for a number of years.
    The current effort is the vision of the South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University Division of Research and Economic Development and the Research Office in the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering. It featured six presenters — four from engineering, one from the College of Natural Sciences and one from the School of Psychology, Sociology and Rural Studies.
    Rajesh Kavasseri, associate dean for research in the Lohr College of Engineering, served as moderator. He said the presentations at the Research Park at South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University are expected to continue on a quarterly basis.

  • Jackrabbit in the Spotlight / Statistician Simpson finds beauty in numbers, relationships

    Statistics doctoral student Andrew Simpson has found great success in the complicated field of large-scale number crunching and data analysis.
    He already holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and statistics (2021) and a master’s degrees in statistics (2022). In 2026, he should complete his third degree from South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University with a doctorate in computational science and statistics with a statistics specialization. He has presented at a national conference and had a paper printed in an academic journal.
