Ravonne Byrd’s school and work are both in Corvallis, although her home is much closer to Albany — not the one just up the road, but that other Albany — about 3,000 miles away, in New York.
A student in the popular postbaccalaureate computer science online degree program offered through Oregon State Ecampus, Byrd also telecommutes to her job with the College of Engineering’s Center for Applied Systems and Software.
As an undergraduate student in electrical and computer engineering at Oregon State University, Bradley Heenk and his fellow students often printed 3D parts to use in their class projects. Since many students needed custom-printed parts at the same time, Heenk saw this as opportunity to start a business and help his classmates get quality parts more quickly.
At Intel Labs in Hillsboro, research scientist Soumya Bose, Ph.D. electrical and computer engineering ’19, develops circuits to speed up optical data communications while reducing the amount of power they need.
Recently named director of engineering for the Moog Aircraft Group, Mike Johnnie (’82 B.S., Electrical Engineering) has been flying high in the aerospace industry since he graduated from Oregon State University.
The Moog Aircraft Group primarily develops and supports flight control systems which are integrated into a wide range of commercial and military aircraft.
Carlo Tiana is a man with a passion for vision — literally. A Vision Systems Fellow at Collins Aerospace (a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies), Tiana has been developing and mentoring capstone projects for students in the College of Engineering at Oregon State University for several years.
In August 2020, alumnus John Lambert (’20 B.S., Computer Science) posted the following on his LinkedIn account:

OREGON STATE ENGINEER FINDS SUCCESS THROUGH SOLID COMMUNICATIONS
When Don Fuller (’72 B.S., Electrical Engineering) looks back over a long, successful career to his days at the College of Engineering, they blur together in misty nostalgia. But even now, nearly 50 years after graduating, one course remains unforgettable: Communications for Engineers.
Bill Reed and his dog Scout return from a successful search and rescue mission. Reed’s day job is CTO of eIQ Energy, Inc., which hopes to revolutionize the way power grids operate.
Bill Reed awoke to a phone ringing at 3 a.m. on April 22. This was not unusual.
Gene Hill was born at the right time, and he worked hard to get to the right place, to permanently alter the landscape of the personal computer industry.
In the 1980s, only about 1 in 16 American engineers was a woman. That proportion is a lot higher in the Wong family. Of six sisters, five became engineers, and all five graduated with engineering degrees from Oregon State University.
The five sisters are Pam Wong (’79 B.S.,Industrial Engineering), May Wong Knotts (’80 B.S., Mechanical Engineering), Sun Noble (’84 B.S., Civil Engineering), Michelle Wei Wong Lostra (’85 B.S., Civil Engineering), and Lai Wong-Smith (’86 B.S., Computer Science).
