The complex challenges facing our globe demand innovation at the accelerating convergence of the artificial intelligence and engineering fields. Climate change. Poverty. Access to clean water. Aging infrastructure. Declining natural resources. AI can help engineers revolutionize solutions to these massive problems for use in industry, health, commerce, energy, climate, agriculture, and critical infrastructure.
At CSU, we are building a new generation of engineers.
Engineers who can leverage existing tools from AI to understand, monitor and control existing systems.
Engineers who can build even better systems working side-by-side with faculty and students across campus in areas such as computer science, biology, physical sciences, medicine, social sciences, and many others.
"It's building a pipeline of tools that can do brand new things, and hundreds of designs per day. I foresee a machine learning gold rush when it comes to biomolecular engineering."
We collaborate across campus through a unique ecosystem of partners, AI tools, and advanced educational opportunities.
We partner on numerous projects with other disciplines including Computer Science and the Data Science program in the College of Natural Sciences, the Data Science Research Institute through the Vice President for Research, and the Warner College of Natural Resources.
"The importance of AI to Earth system science will only continue to grow. AI techniques, for instance, can accelerate model simulations of the Earth system, allowing researchers to explore a wider range of scenarios and hypotheses. AI techniques can also improve the accuracy of Earth system predictions by better capturing complex, multi-scale interactions between the atmosphere, oceans and land."
Engineering AI News and Features
“It’s building a pipeline of tools that can do brand new thing. One neural network thinks a target structure looks good, a second neural network thinks an amino acid sequence would work, and a third neural network checks the design.”
Artificial Intelligence has become part of our everyday lives – and its role in society will continue to grow. Researchers across the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering are leveraging AI for everything from fighting climate change to enhancing human creativity.

Academic Programs
We teach students across the college to use a broad application of artificial intelligence techniques to enhance, innovate, and revolutionize various aspects of engineering.
Students learn how AI could improve the health of people and the planet through just about every career path:
Analyzing massive amounts of data to understand complicated engineering systems and decision-making in such areas as health monitoring and precision agriculture.
Using generative design to help discover new alternatives in a range of fields including drug discovery, material science, and circuit design.
Improving efficiency, quality, and customization of manufactured products, such as integrating sustainability and resilience in infrastructure and food production systems.
Enabling transportation systems to become smarter, more responsive, and better integrated, leading to safer, more efficient, and sustainable urban mobility solutions.
Revolutionizing weather forecasting by making it more accurate, timely, and accessible, helping communities better prepare for and respond to weather-related events.
Learn from cutting-edge researchers
At the undergraduate and graduate level, you can learn from faculty who are on the cutting edge of an emerging, constantly changing field. We also have educators who are helping to train AI to be more accurate and useful in classroom instruction and tutoring.
Teaching Associate Professor Dan Baker delivered the keynote address on artificial intelligence for teachers and education professionals at Engineering Exploration Day: Educators Edition.
