One thing that’s really helped me is the communities that I’m part of on campus.

That sense of community played a really important role in my staying within the College of Engineering.

That’s something I am passionate about and try to encourage other students to become a part of.

Oregon State was an amazing education that definitely set me up for success.

One thing Oregon State has that other universities do not is a critical focus on hands-on activities

Jill Lewis, ’11, used her experience on Oregon State’s Global Formula Racing team to become a composite production engineer at SpaceX, where she is currently a certification lead.

Experiences Designed for Discovery

Our introductory classes go beyond the typical, that's why we call it Engineering+.

In addition to lectures, there are small-group studios and professional development opportunities to help you discover your path in engineering.
