Dakota Prairie Model and Simulation Lab

The Dakota Prairie Modeling and Simulation Lab (DPMSL) at South Dakota State University (��Ƶ) aims to bridge industry and academia by offering cutting-edge modeling and simulation expertise. This initiative will improve product and system design, advance engineering research and enhance educational opportunities. Our key objectives include:

Supporting South Dakota industries by modeling and simulating both current and future design challenges.
Strengthening research and educational programs throughout the state.
Involving undergraduate and graduate students in hands-on engineering research.
