Students

A team of Mines students, working with other college students in the Denver area, have been selected to compete in the 2023 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon.

What started as a Capstone Design project has evolved into Grown@Mines, a University Honors and Scholars Program and campus-wide initiative towards sustainability and more.

Students in the Design for a Globalized World class worked on a seemingly small problem with a big impact on the environment.

At the international competition, teams from the U.S., England and Australia competed head-to-head in seven events inspired by traditional mining techniques: mucking, handsteel, swede saw, trackstand, jack leg, surveying and gold panning.

The Steel Bridge, Concrete Canoe, Surveying and Sustainable Solutions teams from Colorado School of Mines all punched their tickets to the national finals this past weekend.

The Computer Science Professional Program at Colorado School of Mines is designed to help workers in industry set themselves apart. With courses that introduce common programming languages and development structures, graduates of the flexible program leave with a strong understanding of the different ways computer science is used to solve challenges.

Beginning this fall, students from 16 Western states and territories will receive reduced tuition when enrolling in more than 50 on-campus graduate degree programs and graduate certificate programs at Colorado School of Mines.

Sustainable Energy@Mines (SE@M) is a fully customizable pathway of distinction, combining classroom instruction, co-curricular and extracurricular experiences alongside opportunities for community building that students can integrate with their other academic studies.

Colorado School of Mines is featured in the fourth season of The College Tour, a TV series available to stream on Amazon Prime Video that gives an in-depth, insider look at colleges and universities around the world.

“Even though I’m the one getting this award, I’d really like it to stand for not just me, but everyone who has the same dreams and aspirations as I do,” Fabian Jimenez said. “It’s important to recognize that there are a lot of people out there doing the work and I don’t want them to be forgotten.”
