"CU-Boulder’s engineering school is very good at getting you hands on experience early on. In my first year, I was working on design projects and in the machine shop learning the tools. They also teach you the theory behind the design. Also the department does a good job of putting us into teams to give us experience working with others. For example, in Mechatronics and Robotics, we had a five-person team that was dedicated to building a fully autonomous robot to compete against our classmates." - Jake Timmons, Mechanical Engineering |

You enjoy solving technical problems and are good at science and math. When you were young, you might have gotten in trouble for taking everything apart to see how it works, or maybe you got excited about the electric shock you got when you touched your tongue to a battery. You want to influence the world with creative yet practical technology— the more adventurous and cutting-edge, the better. The opportunities are endless... you can work in the fields of energy, information techology, biomedical, or aerospace, just to name a few.
