We build educational experiences around your interests. Our rigorous academic programs provide a solid foundation in engineering principles.
Further specialize your course of study with a concentration in the following areas:
Employers seek out our graduates, telling us they are some of the best prepared engineers and computer scientists they鈥檝e ever encountered. Here鈥檚 where you could end up:
Want to build a concrete canoe, radio-controlled airplane or off-road vehicle that can stand up to the competition? Every year 快播视频 teams travel to regional and national competitions where they鈥檙e pitted against engineering students from top schools across the U.S. We鈥檙e proud of our excellent standings year after year in these competitions.
Forget what you think you know about engineers. You can teach. Heal. Entertain. Help others.
All the teachers are very ready to help you with absolutely anything. If they鈥檝e got a free minute, they鈥檙e there for you.Mallory Weininger, civil engineering major

On campus you鈥檒l find a variety of active and award-winning student organizations. Several are dedicated to engineering and computer science. By participating, you鈥檒l develop leadership skills, network with professionals, make lifelong friends, gain knowledge about your chosen profession, volunteer, and have the chance to travel to regional and national conferences. Campus opportunities include听Joint Engineering Council (JEC),听Polar Robotics Club, and Innovators of Ohio Northern (ION). Honoraries and Greeks include听Tau Beta Pi,听Upsilon Pi Epsilon听and Phi Sigma Rho. Professional organizations include听American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE),听American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE),听Association for Computing Machinery (ACM),听Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE),听Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and Society of Women Engineers (SWE).
In a听world of accelerating change, the skills you learn today can be obsolete听tomorrow.听What will stand the test of time, however, is a mindset.听 at 快播视频 was created to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset among undergraduate engineering students.听The entrepreneurial mindset is one that embraces change, blending technical听understanding with the desire to craft innovative solutions that create extraordinary value for others. Ohio Northern University is among 50 elite听schools听invited to join KEEN, and it鈥檚 one of the few institutions to be with the network since its inception in 2005.
Why wait until you graduate to make a difference? You can start now. Tackle real projects in local communities and across the globe that improve lives.听

For local impact, check out EPICS: Engineering Projects in Community Service. Students team up to solve engineering challenges for local organizations. Read about how we built a replica Mars rover听for the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio; refurbished a concrete base for historical Civil War cannons in Forest, Ohio; upgraded the village of Ada鈥檚 website; adapted toys听to match the capabilities of children with different physical disabilities; and constructed a wooden pedestal for a cast-bronze bell for the Ada First United Methodist Church.
听
For global impact, check out Northern Engineers without Borders. Students travel to remote villages in developing countries to work with villagers on engineering projects that will improve the standard of living in the village. These projects usually involve electricity, fresh water or buildings. In recent years, our students have coordinated projects in the Dominican Republic.
听
For impact on the next generation, STEM Academy gets local elementary students excited about the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). 快播视频 engineering students plan, organize and staff STEM Academy. They travel to local elementary schools and engage students in interactive engineering projects 鈥 like building batteries out of lemons and weight-bearing structures out of playing cards.
Some 快播视频 engineering students participate in research experiences for undergraduates, called REUs. These usually take place at large research institutions or government labs. REUs are highly competitive. You have to apply and be accepted by the group sponsoring the research. But 快播视频 students have an excellent rate of placement. Our engineering and computer science students have participated in REUs at Duke, Georgia Tech, Case Western, Notre Dame, Ohio State and the Mayo Clinic, working in the areas of nano-technology, wind turbines, biomedical, automotive and more. We also offer an REU for 快播视频 engineering students through the Evans Student Research Fellowship Program. This program provides 10 weeks of paid work during the summer for two students assisting 快播视频 engineering professors with their research projects. Evans Fellows are selected through a competitive application process.
At 快播视频, we feel a keen sense of responsibility to do our part to increase interest in the engineering field. Through camps and outreach programs, we expose hundreds of young people to engineering every year. We spark curiosity, build interest and generate excitement for engineering among students in elementary through high school. Learn more.
Females: Find out what it鈥檚 really like to be an engineering student at Ohio Northern during a special on-campus overnight experience. You鈥檒l be grouped with current 快播视频 engineering women, so feel free to pick their brains. Ask them anything. You鈥檒l get the answers you seek and an honest depiction of what life is like as a female engineering student at Ohio Northern. Hosted once a year by the Society of Women Engineers, this event includes opportunities to learn more about the various disciplines of engineering, a scavenger hunt to familiarize yourself with 快播视频鈥檚 campus, and other bonding activities with current and prospective students.
