North Dakota Spirit - The Campaign for UND

Engineering

The College of Engineering & Mines will have a direct impact on the future sustainability of our state, region and world. Students and faculty are building on a 100-year tradition, educating engineers and geoscientists who are impacting the way you live. Our globe is changing rapidly and we're faced with many pressing challenges to preserve natural resources, fight poverty, meet growing demands for national security, and find solutions to health care advancement. Engineers best prepared to meet these global challenges will be those educated in a creative, innovative and entrepreneurial environment … those educated at UND.
