We are now accepting students into the Ecological Engineering Undergraduate Program for Fall term enrollment. For more information about this exciting new program, browse around this site using the links above and below. Click here for information on how to enroll.
Dr. Louis A. Licht, President of Ecolotree, Inc. says:
“Oregon State's Biological & Ecological Engineering program is an innovative program nested in a state where nature and human activities are both so diverse. To understand ecology with the depth of OSU sciences and engineering problem solving skills is unique. I hope to soon hire a BEE graduate to help design and build plant systems that clean urban storm water and recharge aquifers while diversifying habitat to include endangered species. Where else could that set of skills be learned as an undergrad? And all new students will help the program evolve - these are exciting times.”
From current BEE Senior Undergraduate Student, Benjamin Morelli:
"Ecological Engineering embodies a more holistic/systems approach to traditional engineering problems. Because of this it is less closely tied to specific disciplines and more about the way that you understand and shape the world in which you live. It is exciting that we have such opportunity to define the depth and breadth of our field."
"Ecological Engineering and Systems Thinking which will come to penetrate a broader segment of society and have a role to play in the repair of damaged ecological and social systems. As a student in this major we have the opportunity to positively affect the world in which we live.”
