Fall School Showcase Exploration

Welcome to the Engineering+ Fall 2024 School Showcase page. Please look through the resources below to learn more about the School and major options in the College of Engineering. Attend the Showcase live on the Corvallis campus: October 14th, 3-6 pm.

Follow the directions of your instructor for credit, which may include answering some questions about what you learned here.

Some schools have described their in-person activities at the October 14th School Showcase, so you can get a sense of what their school has to offer while you are at OSU.

Biological & Ecological Engineering (BEE)

Welcome to BEE (our program at the undergraduate level is Ecological Engineering). At our School Showcase booth this year, we had a broad representation of our program including students, faculty, and staff. Our student group, Ecological Engineering Student Society presented information about their club, plans for the year (fall plans include working on the aquaponics setup in the club greenhouse), and how to get involved! Our faculty presented several research posters, answered students’ questions about the work we do, and showed off some models including our mobile flume! Our flume can demonstrate a variety of natural and manmade situations that occur in streams and rivers. Participants had a chance to see the flume in action, make predictions, and learn about how water moves through the environment. Finally, our program loves to advocate and have fun! We had a cotton candy machine setup for students to grab a sweet treat AND we made buttons to promote ecological principles! Save the EARTH!

This year, we are also piloting a wonderful program called Mentor Collective! Mentor Collective is designed to provide mentorship and we are pairing industry mentors with our undergraduates for the duration of their degree program. We are the only engineering major on campus that provides this type of support. You can learn more about Mentor Collective here:

Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering (CBEE)

Welcome to CBEE (Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering). Our School emphasizes the integration of chemical, biological, and environmental engineering principles and practice in a student-centered learning environment to provide work-ready graduates and technical solutions for a sustainable future. At the School Showcase, we demonstrated some of our broad focus areas using a fuel cell car, solar cells, a human spine model, and water processing. In addition, we had other hands-on activities such as paper recycling, absorption with super absorbent polymers, and alginate gel beads.

Civil and Construction Engineering (CCE)

Welcome to Civil and Construction Engineering and Architectural Engineering! We are dedicated to training engineers who will shape the future of our world. Our programs focus on applying knowledge in real-world settings. Industry-sponsored capstone projects and courses taught by industry professionals enrich our academic environment.

The demand for civil, construction, and architectural engineers is expected to increase globally in the coming decades. Earning a degree from Oregon State will provide you with the necessary skills to significantly impact our built environment, society, and planet. CCE advisors joined us at the in-person Corvallis event, where we had several fun hands-on activities.

Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (MIME)

The School of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering has two majors (Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering), as well as three minors at the undergraduate level.

Industrial engineers design and optimize large-scale systems for efficiency and safety by using math models and computational tools to gain process insight from big data. Industrial engineers work in a wide range of applications that involve people and technology including manufacturing, distribution, transportation, healthcare, and service industries.

Mechanical engineering focuses on analyzing, designing and developing all types of devices and systems that move. As an ME you could be at the forefront of the world's most exciting industries, including aerospace, automotive, robotics, biotechnology, and energy systems. Other minors, concentrations, and certificates in MIME include aerospace, humanitarian, robotics, material science, and manufacturing engineering. Mechanical engineering is a major offered at Corvallis, Cascades and Ecampus.

OSU Cascades - Computer and Engineering Science, Energy Systems and Mechanical Engineering, Outdoor Products

Earn an Oregon State University degree at OSU-Cascades in Bend, Oregon and take your future anywhere. Our growing campus offers traditional majors as well as degrees not offered in Corvallis. Our class sizes are smaller than on the Corvallis campus, encouraging more connection with faculty. Outside of the classroom, our location in Bend gives us an edge for outdoor activities. Cascades offers degrees in Energy Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering Science, Mechanical Engineering and Outdoor Products.

Check out the majors provided at OSU Cascades:

Some of the most exciting and promising areas of computer science lie in the ability to extract insight out of extremely large sets of data and deliver those insights to businesses and consumers in real time over web and mobile applications.

In your computer science program at OSU-Cascades, you will develop the multi- disciplinary skill set required to solve these and many other problems as you take courses in algorithm development, machine learning and data analysis, database design, web and mobile application development, UX design, and entrepreneurship.

Our faculty will guide you through an immersive, collaborative, and hands-on learning experience. We bring the most advanced and in-demand languages and tools into the classroom. You will graduate with a foundation in theoretical computer science, experience with the tools that companies demand, and the skills to make a difference with code.

Computer Science

The ESE and ESC degrees are unique to the Cascades campus. Energy systems engineering combines engineering fundamentals with energy-focused technical courses. This multidisciplinary curriculum provides students with a strong foundation in the core principles of mechanical, electrical and industrial engineering. This degree would prepare you for a rewarding technical career in the energy sector.

Energy Systems Engineering

The Engineering Science degree is also multidisciplinary, combining engineering fundamentals with programming.
