The Engineering and Computer Science Program at Adams State offers a full range of courses for both majors and non-majors designed to prepare you to work in a challenging, creative, and intellectually stimulating field with outstanding opportunities for employment and advancement.

The Department of Engineering and Computer Science offers a hands-on, laboratory-intensive mechanical engineering program that is built upon the successful mechanical engineering program at Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins. The laboratory and manufacturing facilities at Adams State University consist of brand-new, state-of-the-art equipment designed to develop and build skills that are needed in business and industry. The program is a partnership with CSU wherein students complete their first two years of coursework as an Adams State student, followed by two years of upper-division coursework taught face-to-face on the Adams State University campus by CSU faculty living in Alamosa.

Students can earn an associate of science degree in engineering from Adams State University in two years. This degree articulates directly into the bachelor of science degree in engineering that is formally earned as a CSU student (but all 4-years of coursework are completed face-to-face in Alamosa).

Students are encouraged to be a part of ACME (Adams State Computer Science, Mathematics and Engineering Club) and the Robotics Club.
