Future Innovators Fellowship
Selections for the second class of Future Innovators of America Fellowships have been announced by the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering.
The seven recipients and the department which selected them are:
Jakob Fossen and Jax Wysong, both mathematics and statistics.
Lucas Gervais, civil engineering.
Carter Waggoner and Dominic Winstead, both mechanical engineering.
Magdalene Hoff and Myranda Hentges, both ag engineering.
Recipients are awarded $5,000 with $4,500 as a stipend and $500 to cover the cost of lab supplies or travel to disseminate the results of their project.
The fellowships were created to provide unique research opportunities for undergraduate students in the college. Any student is eligible to apply as long as they are attending full time and have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Application deadline was Nov. 5.
When it comes to undergraduate instruction in South Dakota 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. What's the secret to his popularity?
In South Dakota State University's Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering, there is a crucial two-semester period for students majoring in mechanical engineering — one of the university's most popular majors. During the end of their second year in the program, most students take Thermodynamics I — a course that starts a transitional period from learning conceptual engineering topics to applying those concepts to real-life engineering problems.
Saikat Basu, assistant professor in South Dakota State University's Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering, traveled to the 76th annual American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting in Washington, D.C., this past November. A group of graduate assistants who conduct research in his lab — the Basu Lab — accompanied him on the trip.
Editor’s note: Jackrabbit in the Spotlight is a new feature in Engineering Connection that gives a glimpse at a successful undergraduate or graduate student in the Lohr College of Engineering.
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.
