Aerospace Engineering Sciences

You are looking to explore the galaxy either from earth or high above it. You are inspired by airplanes and spacecraft and understand how important it is for the people engineering them to do their jobs right. If this sounds like you, think about an undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering sciences. At CU, students have the opportunity to develop in-depth technical knowledge, effective communication skills, and a systems engineering perspective that enables them to produce creative solutions to complex problems. Through hands-on, experiential learning, you may even prepare yourself to be a future astronaut! . As a CU engineer, the possibilities are endless.

Electrical and Computer Engineering

You have taken apart an appliance just because you wanted to see if you could put it back together, or fixed your friend’s laptop by changing out a power relay. You would like to live in a world powered by clean energy technologies such as solar and wind energy designed by people as eco-conscious as you. If this sounds like you, consider a degree in electrical and computer engineering. The Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at CU-Boulder provides students with the ability to do everything from designing more energy-efficient electronics to developing intelligent robots. In ECEE, as in all of our CU Engineering departments, you will find caring faculty who want to help you to become the best engineer you can be. As a CU engineer, the possibilities are endless!

Mechanical Engineering

You think the best way to learn how something works is to build it from scratch, or you look at how something is designed and think “I could make that more energy-efficient.” Perhaps you would like to improve the design of sporting equipment like golf clubs or skis, or want to be involved in creating faster, cleaner, and more fuel-efficient cars. A degree in mechanical engineering might be right up your alley. At CU, engineering students can enhance their classroom learning and make connections with potential employers by getting involved in one of the many national engineering societies and taking advantage of active learning opportunities such as co-ops, internships, and undergraduate research.
