Online Course Offerings
35 Undergraduate- and Graduate-Level Courses
We want to make taking courses at CSU’s Department of Mechanical Engineering as easy as possible. That’s why we’re offering application-free, online courses for the spring semester that are available to anyone.
CSU’s world-class research, award-winning faculty, and inclusive environment ensure an unparalleled educational experience. Giving you the control to make learning convenient for your schedule, our courses are available for academic credit or professional development. Select from a variety of subject areas including aerospace, materials, manufacturing, green energy, and bioengineering.
These courses are an excellent option for students at universities outside of CSU. Fill gaps to complete your schedule to stay on track to graduation, or pursue a unique area of study that interests you.
