Since its founding in 1891, the College of Engineering has graduated over
28,000 engineers. Currently, it enrolls about 3100 undergraduates and 500 graduate
students yearly. There are approximately 125 faculty members.
OSU engineering graduates have been responsible for a wide
range of innovative developments. Almost every citizen of the United States
has experienced the computer mouse and automobile airbag which resulted from
the work of our graduates. We take great pride in the fact that OSU-educated
engineers are responsible for many advances in electronic devices and computer
technology. They are also involved in projects to ensure clean air and water,
develop new sources of energy, improve modes of transportation, help develop
new computers and software, and create new methods for analyzing and solving
problems.
In order to fill its multidisciplinary role, the College has eight departments: Bioengineering; Chemical; Civil, Construction, and Environmental; Electrical Engineering and Computer Science ; Industrial
and Manufacturing; Mechanical; and Nuclear
Engineering.
It also has strong interdepartmental programs and cross-disciplinary programs
with departments in the College of Science, Forest Engineering in the College
of Forestry, and the College of Agricultural Sciences. |
