What our students are saying

I chose the ECE graduate program at CSU for its internationally-recognized reputation,breadth in research and flexible curriculum. I liked being able to tailor my studies to include a broad range of topics, from electronics systems design to vehicle cybersecurity.

Vishwa V.K.

Colorado State University
CSU has a world-class ECE program. I mainly focused on VLSI and machine learning. With the perfect combination of the courses at CSU during 2 years of my Master's, I could prepare myself to be eligible to apply for tech giants like Intel, Apple, NVIDIA, and AMD.The ECE program has not just expert, experienced professors for theoretical classes but also highly equipped labs to let students have practical experience about the theoretical knowledge that they get in class.

Poonam Pipaliya

Colorado State University
CSU’s ECE program is more than a curriculum; it is a journey to a prosperous career, embraced by a community that fosters growth. As a proud ECE student at Colorado State University, I am thrilled to share my experience. One standout feature of the program is its flexibility, allowing us to take a few credits from outside the department. This distinctive opportunity enhances our overall learning experience and aligns perfectly with the ever-evolving field of computer engineering, providing the freedom to explore diverse areas.
