Department of Engineering and Engineering Technology (EAET)

The road to making the world a better place will be paved by engineers

As the world becomes more technologically advanced, it will be up to the brightest minds to solve new problems. Computers will do most of the heavy lifting, but there will always be a need for a human element when complex solutions are needed. The demand for skilled engineers dedicated to solving humanity’s most dire problems, including climate change and crumbling infrastructure, will continue to grow. If you’re up for the challenge, we can help you along the way.

The Department of Engineering and Engineering Technology at MSU Denver offers a vast selection of undergraduate degrees to fulfill your curiosity and maximize your career opportunities. Sustainable Systems Engineering and Environmental Engineering majors study the underlying problems of climate change and how to solve them through innovation. Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Technology majors explore inventive ways to improve existing technology while experimenting on new and improved ideas. Civil Engineering Technology majors examine the planning, design and construction of infrastructure, while Computer Engineering majors combine digital hardware and customized software to build computer programs that make our lives easier. Our faculty will challenge you to be your very best to ensure that you’re prepared for a rigorous career.

Through math, science, analysis and problem-solving, a degree from the Department of Engineering and Engineering Technology gives you the tools necessary to change the world for the better.

Our Program Options

Our responsibility and commitment is to prepare students to succeed in reaching their academic goals as well as in various professional engineering fields. Our Engineering Technology Programs (CET, EET, MET) are  ABET accredited and our graduates can go on to become Professional Engineers (PE). In contrast, our Engineering Programs (CPE, EVE, SSE) are new and not yet ABET accredited but are working towards ABET accreditation. The Construction Project Management (CPM) Program is accredited through MSU Denver’s College of Business by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

The Department of Engineering and Engineering Technology at MSU Denver offers seven different majors to fulfill your curiosity and maximize your career opportunities.
