DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
Department Chair: Jane M. Fraser
Faculty: Carrasco, DePalma, Fraser, Jaksic, Sarper,
Sinkhorn
The Department of Engineering offers the following engineering programs:
- The Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a Mechatronics specialization (BSE-Mechatronics),
- The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE),
- The Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering (MS),
- The Pre Engineering program,
- The Minor in Engineering, and
- The Minor in Industrial Engineering.
The BSE-Mechatronics is a 4-year program that can be completed at CSU-Pueblo. The program began in Fall 2005 and the first students will graduate from the program in Spring 2008. Mechatronics combines mechanical and electrical engineering with computers to create devices that make our lives better. Electrical and mechanical systems, controlled by computers, are at the core of a wide range of processes and products. Robots, the Mars Rover, a heart-lung machine, a computer controlled telescope, and a nano-scale microscope are all examples of mechatronics. The BS in Engineering with specialization in mechatronics is a flexible, broad degree that prepares graduates to work in many industries.
The BSIE is a 4-year program that can be completed at CSU-Pueblo. The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202, telephone: (410) 347-7700. As defined by the Institute of Industrial Engineers, “industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical and physical sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such integrated systems.” Industrial engineering is a major branch of engineering with applications in manufacturing, service, governmental, and non-profit organizations. Industrial engineers are productivity and quality specialists who deal with the human aspects of work in addition to the advanced technologies of computer software and production related hardware.
A student can receive the BSE-Mechatronics and BSIE degree simultaneously by taking 30 additional credit hours over one degree alone, including a second senior design project.
For more information on the MS degree with a major in Industrial and Systems Engineering, see the Graduate Studies section of this catalog.
In the Pre-Engineering program, students seeking to major in some area of engineering other than industrial engineering or engineering with a mechatronics specialization (for example, civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering) can complete at least 60 credits that will transfer to other engineering schools.
The Department of Engineering has found that transfer students are very successful in our programs and we welcome transfer students. About half our graduates began their degrees at other institutions.

Outcomes Assessment Activities
The BSE-Mechatronics and BSIE programs and the courses in each program are designed to support the Program Outcomes listed for each degree. Each program has an Advisory Board that meets annually and the input from those Boards is used to revise the programs. The Department also uses the following assessment activities:
- During the final semester of study, all engineering students are required to demonstrate their ability to apply and integrate the skills and knowledge learned in the program by producing a capstone engineering design project. This project must incorporate subject material covered in two or more courses in the student’s major, involve knowledge or skill not learned in a class thus demonstrating the student’s ability to engage in life long learning, involve reflection on the impact of the proposed solution in a global and societal context, and be presented in written and oral reports to demonstrate the student’s communication skills.
- All senior engineering studies are required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam administered by the Colorado State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers, on a regularly scheduled examination date. Students must take the exam to be eligible to graduate, although the results of the exam will not affect GPA or graduation.
