Engineering dean named national fellow
Michael Kessler, dean of the NDSU College of Engineering, has been selected as a Fellow Member of the American Society of Engineering Education. Kessler was honored during the 2022 ASEE Annual Conference.

Making an impact on the future
NDSU environmental engineering students like Taylor Kimball are learning to create a more sustainable future and positively impact the world by tackling current and emerging challenges.

NDSU is one of just 3 universities in the six-state upper Midwest region designated as an R1 research institution by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. Carnegie’s R1 distinction is its highest classification and is presented to only the top research institutions in the country. Learn More
Supporting Diversity

The NDSU College of Engineering is proud to have received a Bronze Award from the American Society for Engineering Education Diversity Recognition Program. The honor means the NDSU College of Engineering is among the nation’s leaders in inclusive excellence.
“Knowing that we are far better together, we’ve made diversity and inclusivity core values of the College of Engineering,” said Michael Kessler, dean of engineering. “While this award is a recognition of some of our recent progress, more importantly, it’s a reminder of the work we still have to do.”

Salute to Women in Engineering
As part of a special project for Women's History Month, we highlighted some of our distinguished female graduates.
By putting a spotlight on these female engineering role models we hope to encourage more young girls and women to pursue engineering degrees.
