Don鈥檛 just study engineering鈥攄o it.

Design. Build. Test.

Robotic arm against a white background to represent our Engineering major

Driven by hands-on learning, personalized instruction, and a strong foundation in mathematics, FLC Engineering majors engage in all phases of the field—from idea to reality.

Practical skills and a global perspective equip graduates to adapt and succeed in an ever-evolving world where engineering will always be in demand.

Social, environmental, sustainable solutions

Solar Spring Break

FLC Engineering students designed a solar array for their Senior Seminar project, providing sustainably-producing electricity to Navajo Nation community members who previously had no electricity.

The Engineering students and a group of volunteers installed the solar array—making their planning and design come to life.

Program Licensure Information

Program Name: Engineering
Program Degree/Certificate: Bachelor of Science
Delivery Mode: Lecture

Important Note: Colorado is a member of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) through the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WICHE). Because each state has its own laws and standards regarding teacher preparation, our programs do not prepare candidates for licensure in states other than Colorado. If you are planning to seek professional licensure or certification in a state other than Colorado, you should contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state. They can provide information and guidance regarding licensure or certification requirements, and how the Colorado license may transfer before program completion.

State Licensure Determination: Before enrolling, students must determine if this program aligns with licensure requirements in their intended state of practice.

Meets Requirements: Colorado

Does Not Meet Requirements: States other than Colorado, as this program does not specifically prepare candidates for licensure outside of Colorado.

Additional Steps for Licensure

To achieve licensure or certification in teaching, students may need to:

  • Pass required state licensure exams
  • Submit background checks
  • Take additional courses or licensure exams for other states

Student Responsibility

It is the student’s responsibility to contact the appropriate licensing entity in the state in which they plan to practice to:

  • Verify licensure or certification requirements
  • Understand how the Colorado teaching license may transfer to another state
  • Identify additional coursework or exams required for out-of-state licensure
