Real Education You Can Feel

Boise State’s College of Engineering (COEN) is having its strongest stretch yet. New student enrollment has grown nearly 50% in seven years, doctoral graduates are at a record high, and the college’s undergraduate programs just posted their highest-ever U.S. News & World Report ranking. Backed by growing partnerships with national labs and industry leaders like Micron and Idaho National Laboratory, students here get real research experience — not just real classrooms.

From engineering and cyber operations to construction management and computer science, we’re welcoming more students than ever to hands-on, industry-connected education. There’s never been a better time to be a Boise State Bronco! Keep scrolling to learn how your passion can lead to a career.

The Engineering Innovation Studio

Where Theory Meets The Workbench

Theory only goes so far. In the Engineering Innovation Studio, COEN students turn lecture concepts into real, hands-on skills — welding, machining, 3D printing, and CNC programming alongside trained staff and state-of-the-art equipment. It’s where ideas become prototypes, and students become engineers ready for day-one careers.
