The College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology is a leader in research that shapes our state, nation and the rest of the world — from innovations that save lives to technological breakthroughs.

On March 14, 2025, high winds, extremely dry conditions and a potent storm system converged to spark a wave of wildfires across Oklahoma, devastating communities and overwhelming first responders. Low-flying drones equipped with visible and infrared cameras have been crucial in providing live “eyes in the sky” during wildfires. 

For Oklahoma State University’s Bullet Racing team, that spark now carries the legacy of an alumnus who lived life immersed in all the aspects of the sport. Thanks to a generous endowment from his sister, Bob Lembcke’s lifelong passion for motorsports is powering an entire team toward something greater than a checkered flag. 

Oklahoma State University engineering students aren’t just at the forefront of innovation; it’s built into their DNA. Through the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, students become experts in their field of study thanks to faculty dedicated to interdisciplinary research opportunities.
