Since its inception, enthusiasm for the 3MT® concept has grown with the 3MT® adoption by numerous universities.

This program is designed to guide incoming freshmen as they transition from high school to the academic rigors of CEAT coursework through review courses, mock exams, orientation seminars and engineering design projects. In addition, the students will build relationships with peers, faculty and staff, and start the process of building strong study habits with the assistance of CEAT upperclassmen as mentors.
• OSU Energy Communications Camp 2017 - The OSU Energy Communications Camp provides a hands-on learning opportunity for high school students to explore a career that combines the science of energy with the art of storytelling.

You will have an opportunity to see an active excavation, but every visitor to the OSU campus can put themselves in the action if our mammoth display is funded. The OSU mammoth now sits in storage, unseen. Walking across a glass floor with a mammoth underfoot, students and visitors will be amazed by the mammoth, by research being done at OSU, and by this natural wonder of Oklahoma.
