Our engineering students continue to be forward-thinking and business-oriented! A group of College of Engineering students have partnered with students from the Fisher College of Business to create the Ohio State Society of Business Engineers,whose primary objective is to increase the business perspective, professionalism and leadership of its members through activities and experiences outside the traditional academic environment.

SoBE hosted its first event on April 20.  The group invited Christine Poon, Dean of the Fisher College of Business, and me to speak about the “Guidelines to Technical Leadership” and “Taking Risks to Achieve Success.”  I enjoyed this great opportunity to meet the current members of SoBE and learn more about the group.  I encourage all engineering students to consider joining SoBE and getting involved in the business of engineering!
