Colorado State University Pueblo is also proud of its designation as a military-friendly institution due to its history of supporting active duty and veteran students.
As part of the School of Engineering, the civil engineering (CE) and civil engineering technology (CET) programs are two distinct undergraduate degree programs through which the School of Engineering develops competent graduates prepared to perform standard analysis and design of elements or subsystems of structures, foundations, transportation systems, and hydraulic/hydrologic systems; are capable of conducting standard laboratory and field tests for construction materials and soils; can perform engineering or construction surveying; and have the skills to function as civil engineering construction project managers.
The School of Engineering consists of seven degree programs that collectively offer five baccalaureate degree programs, two master's programs, and three undergraduate minors. The baccalaureate degree majors include Civil Engineering (BSCE), Industrial and Systems Engineering (BSIE), Mechatronics Engineering (BSME), Civil Engineering Technology (BSCET), Construction Management (BS). The lone engineering technology program and the three undergraduate engineering programs are all ABET accredited. Our master's programs lead to graduate degrees in Industrial and Systems Engineering (MSISE) and Mechatronics Engineering (MSME). The School of Engineering in collaboration with the Hasan School of Business provides an opportunity for a 3+2 academic degree program that enables students to simultaneously earn a construction management (CM) undergraduate degree and an MBA degree within five years. Similarly, students in the School of Engineering can opt for 3+2 academic degree programs leading to degrees in BSIE or BSME and MSME or MSISE. The School of Engineering faculty is a community of highly qualified professionals, most with many years of both teaching and industry experience and many are certified in engineering specialties or licensed to practice.
