Student Success
Mechanical engineering student channels eco-friendly energy
Although Bridger Cook is just beginning his graduate studies in mechanical engineering after taking courses through Oregon State University’s Accelerated Master’s Platform, he started to prepare years ago as an energy systems engineering undergraduate at OSU-Cascades in Bend. Among his most formative early experiences was an internship with Energy Trust of Oregon during the summer of his second year.

OSU research pushes auto industry closer to clean cars powered by direct ethanol fuel cells
Alternative-energy research at Oregon State University is charting a path toward the mass adoption of clean cars powered by direct-ethanol fuel cells. Zhenxing Feng of the OSU College of Engineering helped lead the development of a catalyst that solves three key problems long associated with DEFC, as the cells are known: low efficiency, the cost of catalytic
