History
The Engineering Resource Center, established in 1986, exists to serve the university, citizens, and industry in South Dakota. Complementary outreach and/or technology transfer programs combine to make up the center. Thus, the knowledge gained from one program often supports or strengthens another program. The programs are: 1) Engineering Extension; 2) Office of Remote Sensing; 3) South Dakota Space Grant Consortium; 4) South Dakota Local Transportation Assistance Program; 5) University/Industry Technology Service; 6) Manufacturing Extension Partnership; and 7.) Essential Networking and Training for Entrepreneurship.
The Engineering Resource Center may undertake projects directly or use project teams composed of students, university faculty, and non-university experts. These teams may be discipline-specific or interdisciplinary. The center has an on-line expertise database to identify potential faculty and industrial consultants. Another database contains information on the manufacturers and processors in South Dakota.
