Engineers Make Great Entrepreneurs (EMGE)
The EMGE program is a speaker series and a scholarship competition for South Dakota Mines students interested in entrepreneurship and starting their own business. This four-week series features presentations from successful entrepreneurs; including
alumni, local and national business leaders, and culminates with students pitching their business ideas for prize money. EMGE also introduces students to the CEO student business plan competition and the SD Governor’s Giant Vision Business Plan Competition.
