Our students competed in the ASCE Pacific Northwest Student Symposium over the weekend. Our Concrete Canoe and Steel Bridge teams held their own in multiple competitive categories against schools around the PNW. So proud of all they accomplished this year, and onto the next!

Join us for Mass Timber Days at Oregon Tech, where the architects, engineers, and builders of the new Residence Hall will come together to share more about the building process and what makes mass timber construction unique.

Thursday, March 13
College Hour Presentation at 2 p.m.
Dinner with the Dean at 6 p.m.

Oregon Tech Civil Engineering Seniors have won the 2025 KEEN Bridge Competition and a $500 prize! In its second year, the competition challenges students to create the most structurally efficient solution to span 36 inches with a piece of rigid foam insulation that is ½”x18”x36”. The Oregon Tech bridge supported 47 pounds with a weight of only 0.374 pounds, for a strength-to-weight ratio of 126. Eight other universities participated, including the University of Washington, James Madison University, Ohio Northern University, Virginia Military Institute. In preparing their bridge, the students assessed the material and connection properties of the foam and hot glue, which function much like steel plate and welded connections, and considered best practices in bridge girder design like cover plates and stiffeners.

Join us in welcoming our ASCE Steel Bridge Team back to the states after a weekend competing in Canada!

Had a great visit with members of The Dutra Group this week! It's always a blast discussing heavy civil and how we can continue to support students with a passion for civil, construction, and infrastructure.

Sending off our (very serious) graduating masters students with personalized OIT hard hats!

First annual Civil Engineering Hard Hat Ceremony is in the books! First-year students can rock personalized OIT hard hats at internships, summer gigs, or any other event they choose!
