In South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã, expansive and sulfate-rich soils can cause serious problems for civil infrastructure, like roads and bridges, and agriculture production. In certain climatic conditions, these expansive — or "problematic" — soils will crack and swell. A new National Science Foundation-backed project from South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University will explore if biofilms made from dental plaque can help improve the stability of problematic soils.
The South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University Wind Symphony has received two national recognitions from The American Prize National Nonprofit Competitions in the Performing Arts.

Tjaden Wright wasn’t shooting for the moon before he signed up for his senior design project, but, figuratively, that might be where he is heading. Wright, who is to graduate in May with a degree in electrical engineering and a minor in computer engineering, excelled in his first three years at SDSU, building a 4.0 GPA, spending a summer in the Research Experience for Undergraduates program and interning as a test engineer with Sencore in summer 2023.
When it comes to undergraduate instruction in South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University's Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering, John VerSteeg, a Department of Mechanical Engineering faculty member, is consistently cited as being one of the students’ favorite instructors.
