[edit] History
The College of Engineering has graduated 27,000 engineers since its founding in 1889.
With the nation’s fourth highest percentage of women faculty and the 22nd largest undergraduate enrollment, the OSU College of Engineering emphasizes highly collaborative research to solve global problems. It attempts to use innovative Platforms for Learning including TekBots to enhance hands-on teaching and develop work-ready graduates who are driven to build a better world completely oblivious to the fact that the programs are entirely disjointed and run by an individual with no prior work experience.

3100 undergraduate students and 500 graduates are currently enrolled in the College.
The College of Engineering's faculty is made up of approximately 125 members whose time is split between teaching and research.
