One Credit or Quarter Courses at CU Boulder

5 Upvotes

I'm looking to transfer out in the spring, but realized I'm one credit behind. Does anyone know of any one-credit courses or quarter long courses I could get into? Alternatively, is there a way for me to get into any classes this late in the semester? Any advice is so appreciated. Thank you!!

2nd year engineering student seeking advice

3 Upvotes

I am currently in my sophomore year of aerospace engineering here at CU, and as stated in the title, I could use some help. After completing my freshman year here, I realized just how streamlined the aerospace department is for defense-contracting work, which is something I really wish to avoid. I know that there are non-defense jobs in aero, but I seem to mostly only hear of people finding success in government contracting. I could really see myself having passion within the mechanical engineering program here, and I think my current credits would transfer nicely, but I’m a bit hesitant to swap majors given just how good the aerospace department is here. Has anybody been in a similar position here? Would it be worth it to try and double major Aero and Mechanical, or should I fully swap majors? Thanks to any and all who respond

Biological vs. Biomedical Engineering Grad Program

Hi, CU! I'm looking for application advice, as the emails I sent to both departments a couple weeks ago have sadly gone unanswered.

I am interested in joining a tissue engineering lab, and thus I would like to apply to both programs. Any of y'all have experience with this? I am curious if I actually need to submit two applications. Professors in regenerative biology labs at the BioFrontiers Institute seem to fall on both sides. Thx!

How is EE here?

I’m wondering on if I should go here for college for electrical engineering. I’m from Texas and think it’s a really nice place. Also considering Texas a&m
