The women of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science are changing the world. In honor of International Women's Day this month, we are celebrating women who are making an impact in their fields of study and through mentorship. We invite you to take few minutes to read EECS Ingenuity, the e-magazine for the School of EECS, to find out more about the students, faculty and alumni that are breaking new ground at Oregon State.
