Let's not forget that OSU brought the world the maraschino cherry process, albeit by accident. Someone in the agriculture department was trying to create a new type of fertilizer.
There is a nuclear reactor in the catacombs under the campus too. Lots of engineering goes on there.
Also, the Betty Crocker was an OSU grad. (not her real name).
