The College of Engineering was established in 2003, building upon long-standing programs in [[computer science]] (since 1971) and aspects of [[mechanical engineering]] dating back to 1919, when related coursework was first offered at what was then a teachers college.{{Sfn|UNT: Engineering, "History"||p=}} As of Fall 2025, the College offers 12 undergraduate majors, 7 minors, 6 undergraduate academic certificates, 10 master's programs, and 5 doctoral degrees across disciplines including [[biomedical engineering]], [[computer science]], [[electrical engineering]], [[mechanical engineering|mechanical]] and [[energy engineering]], [[cybersecurity engineering|cybersecurity]], and [[materials science]].{{Sfn|UNT: Engineering, "Academics"||p=}}

In 2009, UNT launched the Net-Centric Software and Systems Center (NCSS),{{Sfn|Purdue,||p=}} a net-centric (in contrast to [[data-centric computing]]) research consortium and [[National Science Foundation]] Industry–University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC).{{Sfn|NSF: IUCRC||p=}} In addition to UNT, the consortium is composed of the [[University of Texas at Dallas]], [[Southern Methodist University]], and [[Arizona State University]].{{Sfn|ERCA||p=}} Its mission is to advance secure, resilient, and efficient software and hardware systems for [[distributed computing|networked]] and [[cloud computing]] environments.{{Sfn|NSF||p=}}{{Sfn|ERCA||p=}}{{Sfn|Purdue,||p=}} Research areas include [[computer architecture|emerging processing architectures]],<ref group=lower-alpha>Emerging processing architectures are novel or experimental computing designs that go beyond traditional CPUs. These include [[manycore processor|manycore systems]], [[heterogeneous computing|heterogeneous architectures]], [[neuromorphic engineering|neuromorphic chips]], [[domain-specific architecture|domain-specific accelerators]], and [[application-specific instruction set processor|application-specific processors]].</ref> [[service-oriented architecture|service-oriented architectures]], and dynamic service composition.<ref group=lower-alpha>Dynamic service composition refers to the automated assembly or reconfiguration of software services at runtime, enabling systems to adapt to changing requirements or environments.</ref> The center is primarily funded by industry members and has conducted projects on [[multicore processor|multicore optimization]] and [[adaptation (computer science)|adaptive software components]].{{Sfn|NSF||p=}}

Three of the six academic certificates offered to undergraduate engineering majors include (i) Artificial Intelligence, (ii) Game Programming, and (iii) Security.{{Sfn|UNT: Engineering, "Certificates"|2025|p=}}
