Computer science & software engineering students forge innovative technology.
Taha Afzal ‘22, who majored in computer science & software engineering, is a software engineer at Raven Industries in Sioux Falls. Part of the field computer team, Afzal has helped to develop technologies such as the precision application of fertilizer and autonomous driving, as well as technology enabling farmers to work more efficiently, sustainably and profitably. During his time at Augustana, Afzal completed two software engineering internships with Raven and one with Spidreye, along with a data analytics internship with Diamond Mowers.
Augustana is excited to once again host its annual Arthur Olsen Student Research Symposium, set to take place on Saturday, April 13, at the Froiland Science Complex, located on the university’s campus.
Augustana University is excited to announce a new STEM Scholars Program made possible through a more than $30,000 Project Innovation Grant (PIG) from the South Dakota Space Grant Consortium (SDSGC).
Augustana University will launch its newest academic program, Augustana University Fintech Program by Pathward™, in the fall of 2023. With the support of Augustana’s key strategic partner, Pathward™, N.A., (formerly MetaBank, N.A.), the major will be the first of its kind in the region.
Graduates secure careers in data analytics, systems analysis and design, network technology and internet programming.
Internship opportunities include:
Professors’ research gives students the opportunity for real-world, cutting-edge experiences with state-of-the-art equipment, theory and projects.
Several ongoing research projects include collaborations with NASA, Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
