The UTSA Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design (CEID) houses The University of Texas at San Antonio's Engineering and Architectural, Construction and Planning programs. It was originally founded as the College of Engineering but was renamed to the Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design (CEID) in 2021. CEID provides undergraduate degrees in the fields of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, and Architecture & Planning. Graduate degrees are also offered in multiple areas, including Biomedical Engineering. As Engineering students reach their senior year, they must choose a concentration. A concentration is a more specific area in one's field of study, where the student is required to take classes in that concentration. For electrical engineering, the concentrations offered are control systems, computer engineering, and communications. The Engineering departments puts a heavy emphasis on engineering science and practical applications. Before graduation, an engineering student will have a firm foundation not only in the necessary mathematics, but also with computer applications that will be used in the engineering career field. In 2021 The University of Texas at San Antonio announced the formal launch of the College of Engineering and Integrated Design (CEID). The new college combines the academic departments and programs under the College of Engineering and the College of Architecture, Construction and Planning. On December 9 of the same year, it was announced that the college would be renamed after former Valero CEO William R. Klesse who donated $20 million to the university. Departments and Programs Graduate Certificate of Specialization Undergraduate Certificate of Specialization Facilities The Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering building opened in 2006, and hosts new opportunities for engineering students. The building has also received recognition in the architecture community for its design and purpose. The offices of biotechnology, civil engineering, and electrical engineering department members are located here. Research is being heavily done in the areas of MEMS, photonics, and digital image processing. The original engineering building offers multiple computer labs, a microcomputer lab, a lab with Sun Microsystems computers for a course in digital systems design, and two labs for students in practical, hands-on courses. The original building serves as the location for the mechanical engineering faculty offices as well. According to the master plan of UTSA, the university is expecting to receive another large engineering building, and new research facilities located on the east side of
