• This summer, #SDMines metallurgical engineering major Austin Holmes has been interning with Advanced Heat Treat Corp., a commercial heat treater and one of the largest commercial ion nitriders in the US. He performs metallography and evaluates case depths. Austin is from Fruita, Colo., and graduated from Fruita Monument High School. Check out the second cool pic - it shows parts being ion nitrided. #sdminesinternships #metallurgical engineering #sdsmt @advheattreat @fmhswildcats

  • Even our graduate students enjoy interesting internships. Electrical engineering graduate student Travis Grablander is working at VRC Metal Systems this summer. In this photo, Travis has been testing thermal pastes for performance capabilities. #sdmines #sdsmt #electricalengineering #sdminesinternships

  • Will Carroll, a sophomore mining engineering major from Gatesville, Texas, spent the summer interning with @PeabodyEnergyCorp in its Wild Boar Mine operation in Lynnville, IN. In his spare time Will, a linebacker for the Hardrockers, enjoys working out and getting ready for the coming football season. #sdsmt #sdmines #hardrocker #15 #SDMinesinternships #miningengineering

  • What kind of internships do civil and environmental engineers do? Well, sophomore civil and environmental engineering major Andrew Ferris is spending his summer at Cloud Peak Energy at two of their three mines as an Environmental Engineer. Andrew has learned real life applications of surveying, the permitting process, along with understanding regrade and reclamation practices in a surface air coal mine. So far the experience has been really amazing, and I've learned so much about mining in the process and how important it is to preserve the environment after the mine has left. Andrew, who is from Ohio, also runs cross country and track for the #Hardrockers. #sdsmt #sdmines #sdminesinternships #civilengineering #environmentalengineering

  • Chemical engineering major Nicole Schrader has been focusing on blood clots this summer. As an engineering intern with Surmodics, Inc. in Eden Prairie, Minn., Nicole has been designing drug coated catheters that remove blood clots inside arteries. Wow! Way to go Nicole. #sdsmt #sdmines #sdminesinternships #chemicalengineering @nicoleschrader3

  • Geology majors don't always play with dirt and rocks! 😄 Take Gage Koistinen for instance. Gage is interning with the Rapid City GIS Department. Early in the summer, he scoured historical aerial photography, clipping them and referencing them to their real-life locations. One of the historic mosaics he worked on was comprised of the photos of the Black Hills Flood of 1972, showing exclusively just how destructive it was. #geology #sdminesinternships #sdsmt #sdmines
