College of Engineering

Innovation leads to prosperity: Our goal is to transform innovative, new technologies into economic impact for Oregon and beyond. In addition to the collaborations listed below, we work closely with industry partners from the business world to spin out new companies and products that not only create jobs, but improve lives.

We also contribute top talent to the job market—new engineers who have had entrepreneurial and commercialization experience during their years studying at OSU. These men and women graduate work-ready, prepared to contribute to the economy, and impact the world.
