University of Oklahoma College of Engineering
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Oklahoma College of Engineering in the engineering unit of the University of Oklahoma in Norman. With an enrollment of 2,086 undergraduates and 2,193 graduate students,[1] the College of Engineering is one the best engineering schools in Oklahoma and the United States.
The college was founded in 1909, but engineering work started five years before that under the School of Applied Science.[2] Between 1998 and 2002, the college had negotiated dozens of licenses and patent applications, marketed more than 55 inventions and helped with the formation of 12 start-up companies.[3]
The college's main office are currently located in Carson Engineering Center with many classes being held in that building, Felgar Hall, and the Engineering Center. Within the next five years, the college will be expand beyond these buildings as two new building are currently under construction, the new ExxonMobil Lawrence G. Rawl Engineering Practice Facility and Devon Energy Hall. Four of these buildings (Carson, Felgar, Devon and the Practice Facility) will complete an "engineering quadrangle" on the northeast section of OU's main campus. Many graduate level classes and research labs have moved to the recently opened Stephenson Research Center located on Norman's south campus.
