Congratulations to Cody Tucker and Andrew Houk. Two of our outstanding ET alumni graduating with their Masters in Business Administration!!

Congratulations to our spring 2024 ET graduates!! We look forward to seeing all of your success and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey!!!

Great experience yesterday for SWOSU ET students! They toured Flowgistics in El Reno, OK and got a firsthand look at the manufacturing processes used to fabricate gas compressor units. A special thanks to SWOSU ET alum and Flowgistics Manufacturing Engineer Chesney Swartwood for showing the students around!

What a great trip and what a great group of students!!

The ET department cannot express how proud we are of the dedication this team has shown. After not qualifying the first day, they made a remarkable comeback the second day, placing 11th in the world and 4th among US teams. They placed higher than teams from North Dakota State, Auburn, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M, and teams from 13 countries including Peru, Turkey, and Mexico.

The Rover Dawgs ended with a strong finish today at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

The Rover Dawgs compete at 11:00 on Friday and Saturday. The links are below.
Go Dawgs!!

The SWOSU Rover Dawgs are competing in the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, today, April 19, and tomorrow, April 20, with races scheduled at 11 a.m. on both days.
