The College of Engineering and Applied Science at University of Colorado Denver maintains a broad-based curriculum in both undergraduate and graduate engineering programs. The four-year undergraduate program stresses fundamental concepts of all aspects of engineering, science, mathematics, computers, and humanities. It includes required and elective engineering courses. The program includes the breadth of knowledge provided by a core curriculum and can be completed full-time or part-time. The required senior design project gives students practical hands-on training and a teamwork experience.
The faculty and staff are enthusiastic and dedicated to helping students succeed academically and personally. The engineering programs at UC Denver offer good faculty-student relationships and small classes.
Graduate work leading to the Master of Science, Master of Engineering, or Doctor of Philosophy (in cooperation with CU Boulder) is available in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, and in Computer Science and Engineering. Most engineering and computer science graduate courses on the Downtown Campus are held in the late afternoon or evening or on Saturdays and are well suited to the needs of practicing professionals as well as full-time students. Graduate program emphases include:
- CIVIL ENGINEERING: structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources, environmental engineering, sustainability engineering, urban infrastructure systems, geographic information systems (GIS)
- ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING: systems and controls, signal processing and communication systems, microelectronics, power systems machines and energy, computer engineering, photonics
- COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING: computer systems, artificial intelligence, parallel computation, computer graphics, distributed systems, computer networks, algorithms, graph theory, bioinformatics, data mining
- MECHANICAL ENGINEERING: solid mechanics, bioengineering, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, combustion, materials science and composites, vibrations, mechanical design, manufacturing systems, industrial engineering, thermodynamics, dynamics and control systems, thermal design
Our Continuing Engineering Education Program works with business, industry, government agencies, and professional organizations to offer seminars, workshops, and training courses (credit and non-credit) for information, training and professional development for engineers and engineering-related fields. Current offerings include PE refresher courses and a Certificate Program in Systems Engineering. Professional development courses are available on-site or can be custom-tailored to meet the new nationwide requirement for P.E.'s to obtain CEU's annually to retain their professional engineer license.
The Colorado Advanced Photonics Technology (CAPT) Laboratory is a state-of-the-art research and measurement facility available to industry as well as academia. Clients can rent on-site use of measurement equipment or contract for service measurements. The CAPT Lab is a 2000-square-foot facility with $5 million of equipment that includes a suite of metrology equipment, a clean room for photolithography, a laser lab, and a general optics lab. The CAPT Lab can provide assistance in custom designs, material processing, surface characterization, and packaging.
