College Overview
The College of Engineering is using its classrooms and laboratories to educate the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and corporate and civic leaders.
The goal of the College of Engineering is to serve society by educating students, solving problems of global importance, and contributing to national and international economic development. We have set our goals high and our vision is clear: to create a better world for future generations.
The College of Engineering has a strong tradition of excellence and is comprised of five departments and the School of Biomedical Engineering:
Chemical & Biological Engineering
Civil & Environmental Engineering
Electrical & Computer Engineering
Our rapidly expanding research base is a true reflection of faculty expertise, and our undergraduate and graduate students benefit from the classroom and laboratory experiences that this research provides. CSU's College of Engineering is a leader among research universities, designated as a Carnegie Doctoral Research Extensive University, along with only 150 other institutions.
Our graduates are well prepared for careers and advanced study. At Colorado State, our undergraduate and graduate students work closely with faculty and each other. Student design teams have made discoveries leading to patents, new products, and start-up companies. Our alumni have gone on to distinguished careers as innovators in industry, outstanding educators, and highly ranked government leaders.
“Engineers have the opportunity and responsibility to develop solutions for the world’s greatest challenges – challenges such as developing clean and renewable energy, improving human health or the environment, or developing technology and infrastructure that improves the quality of life. It is through the education of students and the development of new knowledge that colleges of engineering have the greatest global impact.”
