Fact Sheet

Founded in 1889, the College of Engineering has graduated more than 30,000 engineers. Numerous alumni have founded successful local, national, and international business enterprises or had major impacts on civilization through significant contributions in science and technology. For example, their achievements include inventing the first artificial heart valve, the computer mouse, and the concept of email.
The college endeavors to create solutions that promote healthy people, a strong economy, and a sustainable environment. We leverage mutually beneficial partnerships with industry, academic institutions, government, and other entities to foster collaboration; encourage synergies in teaching, research, and innovation; and strengthen Oregon’s future by commercializing faculty and student inventions.
