Industry partnerships are a highlight of the Oregon Tech experience. Electrical Engineering instructor Jason Sullins includes a tour of Sunstone Circuits during his Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Summer Boot Camp to provide insight into designing circuit boards for manufacturability. Thank you, Jason and Sunstone, for keeping this student experience alive during the summer!

The Owls secured their first win of the season by defeating the University of Jamestown 3-0!
