  Students in ITTL Lab
The chaotic pendulum is one of many interactive exhibits in the ITL Laboratory.

We know that the best way for you to get to know CU-Boulder is to come and visit. The College of Engineering and Applied Science offers a variety of tours and open house programs for prospective students and parents. These programs give you an opportunity to personally speak with our faculty, staff, and students, and to get an idea of what programs might interest you at CU-Boulder.

Engineering Center Tours
The Engineering Ambassadors offer tours of the Engineering Center on select Monday and Friday afternoons at 4 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters. Tours begin at the revolving doors on the west side of the Engineering Center, run approximately 1 hour, and closed-toed shoes are required.  The tours are part of the CU Student for a Day Program, an all-day visit program that leads you through a day of activities typical for a CU-Boulder student. Please note that you can attend the Engineering Center tour without attending the CU Student for a Day activities, simply by meeting the Engineering Ambassadors at 4 p.m. in the Engineering Center Lobby.
