On a mission to change the world.

The College of Engineering is a place of extraordinary talent and unstoppable drive. Right here, people with world-class expertise in nearly every major field of engineering have gathered to realize a shared mission: create a better future for our planet and all who inhabit it. Oregon State Beavers don’t just build dams, they build bridges and bioreactors, rockets and robots, software and solar cells — and so much more. 

Founded in 1889, our college endeavors to promote strong economies, healthy people, and a sustainable natural environment. From the beginning, Oregon State Engineers have made major contributions to science and technology and created a legacy of leadership and inspiration.
