1. OSU College of Engineering Overview William A
OSU College of Engineering Overview William A. “Bud” Baeslack, III, Dean Council of Deans November 20, 2007
College with a long history of commitment to undergraduate engineering education in an institution where our new president has stated distinctive undergraduate education as the second of six priorities, right after unifiying the University.
As you will see the College has made considerable progress in quality and performance of students. We want to continue those trends.
- Will be using the ABET Criterion (Students, Educational Objectives, etc.) as an Outline for Comments in this opening session.
Will focus on College level activities and points of pride. We will have opportunity to see these in action at the program level.
Hopefully this will help put the Geomatics program in perspective of the larger College and University efforts.

2. College of Engineering Vision
We will achieve world-class stature as a college of engineering through our excellence and impact in education, research and outreach.
We will be nationally recognized as the pre-eminent college of engineering in achieving our land grant mission – ensuring Ohio’s global competitiveness and future prosperity.

The average ACT of entering engineering students has been significantly increasing.
Quality of our incoming class in engineering continues to improve as
1) selective admission of the University continues to raise the admission standards of the University
2) the College starting in 2001 set an additional standard for enrollment in engineering (currently Math ACT 24) 7

8. Major Supporting Programs
Cooperative Education and Internship
Career Services
Student Projects and Student Organizations
Minority Engineering Program
Women in Engineering
Computer Laboratory Support
Honors Program
College Enrolled 443 Honors NFQF Au 2007
This represents 1/4 of honors coming to OSU
You likely noted that in our self-study we added a section on Supporting Programs. We feel that these programs are very important to the quality of the experience and education for our undergraduates. If you would like more details, we would be pleased to present those.
Cooperative Education and Internship (not mandatory, but approx. 80% have intern or coop experience at graduation)
Underrepresented Student Support
Women in Engineering Support
Honors Program
Student Projects and Student Organizations (17 college supported student projects, 42 dept and college-wide professional organizations, 15 honoraries)
