Shaping Society, Making History
The world would look much differently without mechanical engineers. The application of mechanical engineering has led to inventions and innovations in automobiles, air transportation, water supply and distribution, air conditioning, refrigeration, household appliances, and robotics.
Oregon Tech’s Mechanical Engineering students have created and designed:
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
The Oregon Tech Racing team designs, builds, and tests a 3/4 scale Formula car for a yearly Formula SAE competition.
Semi-autonomous "Smart" EV for Specialty Agriculture
A career of possibilities.
Almost every type of industry employs mechanical engineers. As innovative problem-solvers, mechanical engineers are needed to address a wide range of endeavors, including energy use and distribution, machine design, manufacturing, transportation, and aerospace. The BSME program at Oregon Tech prepares graduates for employment in design, research and development, testing and manufacturing, and consulting at governmental agencies, healthcare, education, and private businesses.
