ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION 

Provenance:     This collection was found in the Archives in 1997. There is no indication of where they came from or how they came to be here.

Dr. Suzette Burckhard of the College of Engineering transferred the Photogrammetry images and pocket stereoscopes that are found in the remote sensing portion of this collection to the Archives during the fall of 2003.

This is an on-going collection with material arriving through departmental records transfers, the university campus mail, or random donation by various individuals.

Access Restrictions:     This collection is open to research without restriction. Items in this collection do not circulate and may be used in-house only.

Copyright Status:     Copyright 2008 by South Dakota State University and SDSU Archives. Please credit the SDSU Archives if you copy or reproduce material from this finding aid.

It is the responsibility of anyone reproducing material to determine the copyright holders and obtain permission from them if necessary. Archives staff will provide available copyright information on request. Please note that most collections, especially those received before 1997, may not have complete information on file.

BACKGROUND NOTE 

The Engineering Resource Center, established in 1986, exists to serve the university, citizens, and industry in South Dakota.  Complementary outreach and/or technology transfer programs combine to make up the center.  Thus, the knowledge gained from one program often supports or strengthens another program.  The programs are: 1) Engineering Extension; 2) Office of Remote Sensing; 3) South Dakota Space Grant Consortium; 4) South Dakota Local Transportation Assistance Program; 5) University/Industry Technology Service; 6) Manufacturing Extension Partnership; and 7.)  Essential Networking and Training for Entrepreneurship.

The Engineering Resource Center may undertake projects directly or use project teams composed of students, university faculty, and non-university experts.  These teams may be discipline-specific or interdisciplinary.  The center has an on-line expertise database to identify potential faculty and industrial consultants.  Another database contains information on the manufacturers and processors in South Dakota.

SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE

This collection is composed of material generated by programs within the Engineering Resource Center: Office of Remote Sensing, South Dakota Space Grant Consortium, South Dakota Local Transportation Assistance Program, University/Industry Technology Service, Publications, and Essential Networking and Training for Entrepreneurship.

The General center records consist of items published by the Engineering Resource Center. Folders contain newsletters and a faculty expertise directory.

The Office of Remote Sensing was established in 1969 as the Remote Sensing Institute. Senator Karl Mundt was instrumental in bringing the program to South Dakota. It is funded by both state and federal funds. Its purpose is to use multispectral remotely sensed imagery and geographic information systems for natural resource studies and mapping projects in South Dakota and throughout the world.

This series is composed of correspondence, newsletters, brochures, reports, photogrammetry images and pocket stereoscopes. The pocket stereoscopes are used in reading the photogrammetry, or aerial photographs.

The South Dakota Space Grant Consortium is a program funded in part by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Consortium members are South Dakota State University, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Augustana College and the EROS Data Center. Goals of the Consortium are to create an enthusiasm for aerospace science among students and faculty and to encourage them to pursue careers in related fields.

This series is composed of newsletters, research award announcements, and applications and information pertaining to faculty, graduate and undergraduate assistantship awards.

The South Dakota Local Transportation Assistance Program assists local governments with technology and information needed to operate their transportation related agencies.

This series is composed of newsletters, brochures, catalogs, and special bulletins.

The University/Industry Technology Service links university resources to industry, business and government to solve technological problems and enhance economic development in South Dakota.

This series consists of brochures and programs from symposiums hosted by the University/Industry Technology Service.

The Essential Networking and Training for Entrepreneurship [ENTRE] program provides training for people who may have an interest in pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities. This is an intensive 10-session course that allows participants to test and research their business ideas.  The mission of ENTRE is to foster and promote entrepreneurship and economic development in the state and to develop programs for the general business community or various specialty groups.

This series consists of a newsletter and a brochure outlining the ENTRE program.
