We post all of our projects on GitHub and advocate for open source solutions. Each project has a goal of being open source and the hardware and software that goes into each project is available to the public. We encourage all tinkerers to check out our GitHub and try to make one of our projects yourself!
Our projects are entirely student-led and are developed on multiple labs around campus. We host our own lab space in the Electrical Energy Resources Center, with a variety of electrical, mechanical, and shop tools.
One of the largest enterprise programs on campus, OSHE prepares engineering students for graduation and beyond. Many of our students achieve job offers before graduation and end up working for a variety of employers. Some examples include Miller Electric, Milwaukee Tool, Plexus, and IBM (but there's a lot more!).
Open Source Hardware specializes in building low-cost alternatives to expensive hardware/software, and then sharing the designs with the commons so that collaborative improvements can be made rapidly. Anyone can make changes or updates to the designs the Enterprise team creates—through this process, designs are improved at a much higher rate than would be possible within the Enterprise alone. Open source is all about collaboration.
