College of Engineering

The rapid technological advances that characterize modern society drive up the demand for more engineers and scientists every year. This is particularly true in regions of the country where businesses, educational institutions, and the local government cooperate in a constant quest for technological innovation and optimization. Boise State University’s College of Engineering works with industry and government partners to achieve these goals by providing ongoing research opportunities for students interested in discovering and mastering the technologies of the future.

Since the establishment of the College of Engineering in 1997, researchers have been awarded grant funding totaling over $30 million. This level of funding has allowed our faculty to establish world class research programs in areas ranging from satellite propulsion to molecular electronics. Research funding has been provided from a variety of public and private sources, including the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Aviation Administration’s Centers of Excellence, National Aeronautic and Space Administration, and the Department of Defense.
