Emma Knight finished her mechanical engineering bachelor’s degree in 2016, but she keeps coming back to Oregon State.
Her first job after graduating was as a mechanical designer with Systems West Engineers, in Springfield. That brought her back to the Corvallis campus to conduct pre-analysis for what would become the four-year, $159 million Cordley Hall renewal project, scheduled for completion in 2024.
“Being back at Oregon State was quite a full-circle moment,” Knight said.
