One of the reasons employers love #SDMines students is because they bring knowledge and experience to their first jobs. That's because our students take advantage of internships and co-ops while still students. For instance, junior chemical engineering major and mathematics minor Megan Snyder completed a seven month Production Management Engineer Co-op with @Cargill. Megan’s major projects were purging five hydrogen vapor storage tanks and designing the GEOS New Supervisor Development Program. At Mines, Megan is a member of the Honors Program and A.O.E. Sorority. She is also Captain of the Hardrocker Dance Team this year. She's a 2016 graduate of Dallas Center – Grimes High School is Grimes, IA. #Hardrockers #sdsmt #chemicalengineering. #sdminesinternships
