Sebastian Escobar, OEM 23
System Safety Engineer, Lockheed Martin

I am now looking at engineering work through broader lenses than I could before. Through classes like Organizational Behavior, I am able to more critically evaluate interpersonal relationships in the office and develop more meaningful leadership processes.

Zach Helmberger, OEM 23
Systems Engineering Manager, Northrop Grumman

Within two months of graduating from the OEM program, my OEM degree and experiences allowed me to land an Engineering Manager role that I had been pursuing for the past few years. Without OEM, this would not have been possible, and I’m extremely grateful for the experience.
