Marcus Wilcox received his master's in mechanical engineering from OSU in 1989 and was the first student to work at OSU's Industrial Assessment Center (IAC), which started in 1986. Wilcox was one of the first three students recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy for their contributions to the project. Upon graduation, he joined BRACO Energy Services in Portland, becoming lead engineer after one year.
Four years later, he became one of three partners in Cascade Energy Engineering, an energy service firm in Portland and Walla Walla, Washington, that provides utilities and other customers with studies and analyses on energy conservation. Wilcox credits his success in the industrial energy marketplace to his involvement with the IAC at ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ State, which gave him the valuable experience he calls "learning by doing."
