The Engineering II Project
Engineering II, a 122,000 square foot interdisciplinary research and academic facility for Colorado State University's College of Engineering that will bring faculty and students together in teams focused on energy, health, and the environment.
It will house interdisciplinary research laboratories, teaching laboratories, classrooms, faculty offices, and the Student Success Center. The building is needed to accommodate the College's growing student enrollment and expanding research activities. For more information about this project, click here.
On April 14th, CSU broke ground on Engineering II. Learn more about this exciting new facility, how it will be used, and why it is a priority for Colorado State University in the above video.
Recruitment is Active at CEE
Recruitment events were well-attended and enjoyed by all this past academic year. The departments in the College of Engineering sponsored a prospective student brunch for undergraduate students at the Four Points by Sheraton on January 19th. Over 275 students and family members attended. A general welcome was followed with breakout sessions for civil and environmental engineering, chemical and biological engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
On March 7, 2008, the College of Engineering hosted the Graduate Student Visit Day at the CSU campus. 49 prospective graduate students came to visit CSU and of those 17 came to visit the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The day included a general welcome with a continental breakfast, then breakouts to the individual departments for visits with faculty and graduate students at their labs. This was followed with lunch with our current graduate students, then a tour and visit with the faculty at the ERC, followed by "food and conversation" at CooperSmith's Poolside (which went on into the wee hours). On Saturday a mini tour of Fort Collins was provided, taking in the Engineering Academic Village, Horsetooth Reservoir, some areas of town, ending with lunch in Old Town. Comments received by the visiting students were excellent and several have enrolled for the Fall.
