Integrated design is a process defined by its use of highly collaborative, multidisciplinary teamwork and consideration of all aspects of an engineering project. The Integrated Design Engineering program (formerly Engineering Plus) provides students with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of engineering and both instills and is structured by integrated design. Our majors customize their degree plans through their choice of one of six engineering emphases (selected from aerospace, architectural, civil, electrical, environmental or mechanical engineering), and a concentration in an approved second area such as entrepreneurship, environmental planning, pre-medical or CU Teach Engineering. At the core of our program are three hands-on iterative design project courses that explore and reinforce engineering principles, which jointly form a continuous experiential thread uniting the four-year IDE curriculum. These team-based projects showcase individual students’ growing multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise toward developing vital skills in communication, innovation and leadership, as well as reinforce engineering methodologies required by the emphasis area capstone design experience. Our students graduate with the knowledge, skills and confidence required for success in a diverse and changing world.
Integrated Design Engineering is an approach that favors creativity, diversity and collaboration across disciplines in creating practical and innovative solutions in the service of humanity. Graduates from our program find enriching careers in engineering and related professional fields, establish and support new enterprises, teach secondary-level STEM education and enroll in graduate and professional degree programs.

Requirements
Program Requirements
In order to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Integrated Design Engineering (IDE), students must complete the curriculum in the undergraduate major program as outlined below. For up-to-date program information, visit the Integrated Design Engineering webpage. Required courses in engineering, mathematics and physical science are interwoven throughout the curriculum to provide a multifaceted education. The degree requires coursework in math and science (a minimum of 30 credits), a core of project-based integrated design-focused engineering courses taught by IDE faculty, a disciplinary emphasis (which includes engineering and design content), a selected concentration (12 or more credits), humanities and social sciences electives, a writing course and free electives, for a total of 128 credits required for the degree.
Disciplinary Emphases
Integrated design engineering majors select one disciplinary emphasis (i.e., aerospace, architectural, civil, electrical, environmental or mechanical engineering), and then complete requirements associated with developing competency in that area. To meet graduation requirements, the combination of engineering core and disciplinary emphasis coursework must sum to 52 credits or more. All engineering core and disciplinary emphasis courses require a minimum grade of C-. All integrated design engineering students, regardless of emphasis, are required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam prior to graduation. With the exception of architectural engineering or civil engineering, students are not permitted to double major in a degree program in the same disciplinary area as their IDE emphasis. Students are not permitted to declare a minor in the same disciplinary area as their IDE emphasis.
- Aerospace Emphasis
- Architectural Emphasis
- Civil Emphasis
- Electrical Emphasis
- Environmental Emphasis
- Mechanical Emphasis
Concentration
The integrated design engineering concentration (minimum 12 credits) allows students to select additional coursework in a chosen field of study, either within or outside of engineering. The concentration course sequence must be a series of courses with increasing specificity or depth within a field, typically culminating in senior-level courses. Most concentrations will consist of at least four 3-credit courses. Every concentration must be pre-approved by the Integrated Design Engineering academic advisor prior to the commencement of the coursework. All concentration courses require a minimum grade of C-. All IDE majors must declare one approved concentration by the end of their fourth semester and students who transfer into the program after their fourth semester must declare an approved concentration by the end of their first semester in the major. No one is permitted to declare more than one concentration. Visit the program website for the current concentration requirements.
The Integrated Design Engineering degree is built around student choice and flexibility. The combinations of engineering emphases and available concentrations allow for over 100 possible pathways. The sample curriculum represents only a general idea of what is possible with integrated design engineering. Students are encouraged to visit the Integrated Design Engineering website or an advisor for more specifics in planning their own unique pathway and to ensure that all degree requirements are met.
Prerequisites and Passing Grades
The minimum passing grade for a course that is a prerequisite or corequisite for another required course is a C-. If a grade of D+ or lower is received in a course which is a prerequisite to another, the student may not register for the subsequent course until the first grade has been raised to a C- or higher. If a grade of D+ or lower is received in a course which is a corequisite to another, the course must be repeated until a grade of C- or higher is achieved.
The minimum passing grade for all required engineering core, disciplinary emphasis and concentration courses is a C-. The minimum passing grade for a course that is not specifically a prerequisite or corequisite for another required course is D-, if not otherwise noted above.
Additional Graduation Requirements
- FE Exam: All integrated design engineering students, regardless of emphasis, are required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam prior to graduation.
- Senior Survey: All integrated design engineering students, regardless of emphasis, are required to take the Senior Survey prior to graduation.
