Experience CCEE

Saturday, February 21
8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Lory Student Center

Come experience campus as a future Civil, Construction, or Environmental Engineering student!

Experience what it’s like to be a civil, construction, or environmental engineering major at CSU on Saturday, February 21!

We invite all newly admitted students for fall 2026 AND current first-year CSU engineering students interested in civil, construction, or environmental engineering for their major. 

You and your family will tour our lab spaces (and see demonstrations!), learn about each of our majors, and hear from members of engineering-specific student organizations. 

Newly admitted students will learn more about scholarships, our common first-year experience in engineering, and more about living on campus.

Current first-year students join us at 10:30 a.m. for a lab tour and Q&A with our faculty and advisors. Learn more about future courses, internships, undergraduate research opportunities – whatever you want to know about joining the department! Still figuring out which major to declare? You can come early at 8:30 a.m. to learn more about each major and the differences!

Free breakfast, lunch, and t-shirt for all students!

An optional campus tour will be offered in the afternoon at 1:30 p.m. with our department’s student ambassadors.
