UND School of Engineering and Mines
The primary mission of SEM is to provide students a broad general education coupled
with strong fundamentals that prepare graduates to successfully fill important positions
in professional practice in industry and government. Program graduates will have
a solid background in technical subjects, (i.e. mathematics, science, engineering
science and design), the ability to think and work accurately, breadth and clearness
of vision, and high ideals and purposes. In addition, experiential learning will
provide graduates with the ability to be self-starters and to be immediately effective
in the workplace. The School of Engineering and Mines will also provide equivalent
engineering programs by distance to industry and individuals through the Distance
Engineering Degree Program (DEDP).
SEM's further mission is to engage in research and scholarly activities that contribute
basic and applied discovery to enhance knowledge and to facilitate graduate student
learning. The School plans to build research clusters to utilize the expertise and
experience of the faculty, together with the unique opportunities afforded by the
UND campus and region, in developing nationally recognized research programs in
niche areas.
