Consider this scenario: An SDSU student taking a history course is reading about the American Revolution, and something doesn’t make sense. Instead of leaving the course to search online or ask a general artificial intelligence chatbot, the student can turn to an AI tutor already embedded in the class. The tool can help summarize the reading, identify key points or talk through questions in a way that is specific to the course material.

How South Dakota State University researchers are using cutting-edge technologies to move the agricultural industry forward.

Luke Gassman, a database/systems engineer for University Networking and Research Computing, has been named South Dakota State University’s Civil Service Employee of the Month for May.

AI-enabled safety glasses designed by a group of South Dakota State University engineering students so impressed judges at a NASA contest that State students repeated as champions at the Gateways to Blue Skies competition at Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. The glasses are designed to assist aircraft mechanics, but they could be applied to virtually any field. The system captures images of maintenance tasks, listens to the mechanic during the repair process, and automatically generates a complete maintenance report that becomes part of the aircraft’s service record. The SDSU team dubbed Wingman was one of eight teams selected to compete in the NASA contest finals May 18-19 at the NASA facility.

Although SDSU has been recognized as a leader in precision agriculture, a faculty member in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering noticed a gap in precision technology coursework related to livestock. This gap prompted Dick and Jeune Nicolai's gift to the university.
