What does a Spotify blender and a YouTube refrigerator have in common? For one, they’re not real products, but they demonstrate how Embedded Systems are finding their way into our everyday household appliances and the current trend of consumer electronics – everything, it seems, is connecting to the internet of things. What does this mean for students and how does it relate to education? OPPORTUNITY. Tune in to this week’s episode to learn about Oregon’s best kept college secret: Oregon Tech’s Computer Science Engineering Technology and Embedded Systems Engineering Technology programs. Todd Breedlove, Department Chair of Computer Science Engineering Technology, and Tory Scevers, Professor and Director of Embedded Systems Engineering Technology, join the show to talk about their project-based approach and internship opportunities at Oregon Tech. BIS 2018 graduates Seth Worthylake and Konner Sand also join the show to share their first-year experience as Oregon Tech Computer Science Engineering students. Oregon Tech may be small compared to some other state schools, but the programs they offer are strategic, forward thinking, and have a tremendous return on investment.
