Associate Professor of Computer Science Qi Han has been named as a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
According to the organization, only 10% of IEEE’s approximately 423,566 members hold this grade, which requires extensive experience, and reflects professional maturity and documented achievements of significance.
Colorado School of Mines has been ranked as the best college in Colorado by College Choice. a publication dedicated to helping students and families find the right college. The rankings were developed based on the return on investment as well as institutional excellence, which included reputation, affordability and student retention.
Colorado School of Mines has been ranked the most secure educational investment in the state, and 19th in the country, by a website seeking to help recent graduates with their career choices.
Zippia determined the rankings by considering how much each school costs, the risk of defaulting on student loans and how easy they are to pay back, the latter measured by graduates’ median salary at six years.

Professor of Petroleum Engineering Manika Prasad has been named the 2017 recipient of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists Virgil Kauffman Gold Medal, in recognition of her extensive experimental work in rock physics at Colorado School of Mines. The award will be presented at the SEG 2017 Annual Meeting in Houston, TX in September.
Manika Prasad, professor of petroleum engineering, was awarded Honorary Membership to the Geophysical Society of Houston for distinguished contributions to the geophysical profession.
The Society recognized Prasad’s impacts in rock physics and rock mechanics including:
· Acoustic properties of heavy oils and heavy oil reservoirs
· Contributions to the research produced by the Center for Rock Abuse Fluids Consortium
Colorado School of Mines has been ranked fifth in the nation for return on tuition investment 20 years after graduation in the PayScale 2017 College ROI Report.
PayScale pegged the 20-year net return on investment for Mines graduates at $883,000 by calculating the difference between 20 years of median pay for a bachelor's degree holder and 24 years of media pay for a high school graduate, minus four years of in-state tuition totaling $123,000.
Colorado School of Mines engineering physics student Katherine Schneider has been awarded a $3,000 scholarship by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Colorado.
Schneider received the Sandy Donnel Memorial Scholarship, which recognizes an engineering student for outstanding community service. Schneider has been involved in the Boy Scouts of America Western Region and tutors and mentors K-12 students. The scholarship was established in 2015 to honor ACEC Colorado’s executive director of 25 year
