Ski Oregon!

Check the local business scene at the Oregon Business Channel, and Oregon's software industry at Software Association of Oregon.

Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology is, according to TIME and US News & World Report, one of the U.S.' best places for graduate study in engineering. Enroll on-campus if you can (the skiing and fishing are great, as are the academics). But if you can't get here, check out our distance learning offerings in Management in Science and Technology.

The Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology attracts 800 academics and practitioners from 25 countries, every two years. It is a premier event in the technology management field and a fun time.
