CU Boulder is also an R1 research institution, with faculty that have launched hundreds of new startups, filed for thousands of patents, and delivered nearly 600 new inventions in just the past five years. This community of scientists, scholars, and educators includes five Nobel Laureates, eight MacArthur Genius Grant winners, four National Medal of Science awardees, and more.
The faculty of the MS-EE program have extensive ties to innovation and industry. They’re well-connected with the thriving tech sector in the Boulder area. Many faculty have past and current experience with real-world research and development that’s breaking new ground. They also have a unique and long history of interdisciplinary collaboration—a fact that’s reflected in the large research grants they receive and the joint appointments they maintain with other departments and institutes.
