The College of Science and Engineering (CSE) is one of the colleges of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota. On July 1, 2010, the college was officially renamed from the Institute of Technology (IT). It was created in 1935 by bringing together the university's programs in engineering, mining, architecture, and chemistry. Today, CSE contains 12 departments and 24 research centers that focus on engineering, the physical sciences, and mathematics.College of Science and Engineering: The Institute of Technology Years (1935–2010), edited by Thomas J. Misa and Robert W. Seidel (Charles Babbage Institute, 2010).
Rankings The programs offered by the College of Science and Engineering are rated among the best in the nation, particularly in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mathematics, and Mechanical Engineering.
