Why doesn’t NDSPE participate in the NSPE scholarships?

The North Dakota Society of Professional Engineers is proud to provide scholarship funds to each of our state’s two engineering universities.

Each year, we contribute to scholarships at NDSU and UND. Engineering students at either of these outstanding institutions should contact the Dean of the respective School of Engineering to obtain more information on the availability of these scholarships.

Learn more about the NDSPE Educational Foundation, which sponsors the scholarships.

What does "Er." stand for?

The "Er." designation that you see used throughout this site and in some correspondence is an abbreviation of the non-gender title “Engineer”, used in place of the generic titles of Mr., Mrs., or Ms. in front of a person’s name. It is similar to the abbreviations of Dr. for Doctor or Pr. for Pastor.
