Dakota State University students walking around campus

Preparation + opportunity = success

That's the DSU equation. We're a four-year university with nationally recognized programs, cutting-edge facilities, and the brightest thinkers. But we're also a tight-knit, inclusive community. Small class sizes mean hands-on training and individualized attention. All this with an affordable, public school price that's among the best values in the region.

Majors & Degrees

AdapT Lab

Research in Adaptive Technologies (AdapT)

The mission of the AdapT Lab is to use technology to navigate and structure environments to achieve “barrier-free-living.”  The AdapT Lab aims to be a resource for the disabilities community for using technology to remove barriers to full participation in work, in play, and everything in between.

Current projects are focused on using proximity beacons to provide relevant information for one’s immediate surroundings and to streamline accessible technologies, such as elevator calls and automatic door openers. Past projects include an app that senses communication beacons to provide guidance information and a device for tapping power from powered wheelchairs for other purposes.
