Tours for future undergraduates
In-person Tour
Join us for a 75-minute engineering-focused tour on our Corvallis campus, led by engineering student ambassadors. Offered as part of your campus visit by the Oregon State University Welcome Center, make sure to build it into your day’s schedule. Wear your walking shoes!
Virtual Tour
Sign up for a live, 60-minute virtual tour that you can join from home. You’ll get information about degree programs, academic support and experiential learning, and there’s always time for questions. We offer these tours once weekly.

You’re Invited: Our Favorite Events
You’ve done the tour, and you’re looking for more. Save the dates of our favorite engineering events, each one open to the public.
June: Engineering Expo
The Expo is a great way to see undergraduate engineering students in action. Hundreds of graduating seniors share their capstone projects, which take on real-world problems through hands-on engineering.
April: Graduate Engineering Research Showcase
A series of short research talks presented by current graduate students covering many fields of engineering. The students receive expert coaching to communicate their complex, technical ideas to a general audience.
Inside the Labs
Tours rarely get to show you inside labs, where fragile equipment or ongoing research studies make it hard to host guests. Interested in some of our lab spaces? We have videos on a few of them.
