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.

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).
