Current Student Resources
The Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering offers resources to support your journey such as academic advisors, course lists and guides for both returning and newly admitted students.
While you are responsible for taking ownership of your education and meeting all degree requirements, we are committed to collaborating with you to enhance your success by supplying you with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions.
Student Employment
Each semester, the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering seeks student employees in the areas of course support, grading and research assistance. These student roles are filled on an as-needed basis each semester. Student positions are not permanent employees.
The core course application does not include Coursera or Embedded Systems course support hires.
Things to know before applying to an ECEE student job:
- Applying for an ECEE position does not guarantee employment. There are a limited number of available positions each semester.
- Hiring priority will be given to students who have successfully taken the course they are applying for, or have successfully completed an equivalent course at another institution. This is both to ensure knowledge of the topic, but also to avoid potential future conflicts of students needing to take these courses to fulfill their degree requirements. If you do not disclose your prior course experience accurately, any offers of employment may be rescinded.
- If you apply for multiple positions and are hired for more than one, you must disclose this information to all other faculty who offer you a position. This is to ensure no student is overwhelmed and that their hours worked are not restricted between multiple jobs. Failure to disclose this information may result in job offers being rescinded.
- If you are hired as a Learning Assistant (LA, undergrad) or Graduate Learning Assistant (GLA, graduate student) for a core undergraduate or graduate level course, you are required to complete a Canvas course training provided by the department. Failure to complete the training will result in your position being terminated and may affect your ability to be hired for future semesters.
Student Groups
The CU Energy Club is a multidisciplinary group focused on both education and outreach in the energy sector. Our primary goals are to expand on what CU students learn in the classroom and help them make connections in the energy industry. We appeal to both graduate and undergraduate students, drawing primarily from students of engineering, environmental science, business and anyone interested in energy.
The purpose/mission of EGSA is to create and maintain an ECEE graduate student community in the department; to provide a voice for ECEE graduate students in departmental affairs. Group leadership and event attendance is open to all graduate students, PhD and MS in any degree program at any level.
Current ECEE graduate students can connect with one of their EGSA officers to discuss the department and program.
