Computer science graduates often find employment writing applications for programs, writing systems software, designing computers, serving as systems analysts, or designing microprocessor controlled systems. Construction managers are often involved with overseeing and managing the complete construction process with a focus on the end product. Graduates can serve as design managers, qualified inspectors and project leaders in areas such as building, highway and bridge construction. Electrical engineers play a significant role in the design, development, and application of new technologies, solve problems in energy supply and demand, and play key roles in solving technology problems in such areas as biomedical engineering, communications, computers, industrial control systems, and robotics. SDSU's electrical engineering graduates are working in electronic product research, design and development, scientific research, advanced product testing, technical sales and marketing, and management.
Engineering physics bridges the gap between the research physicist and the engineer.
Graduates can shape their careers as pure research physicists, as research scientists, engineers, or have the flexibility to take jobs which involve both research and engineering. With an engineering physics background, students can enter graduate school focusing on such diverse areas as solid state physics, nuclear physics, nuclear technology, nuclear engineering, medical physics, geophysics, electrical engineering, plasma physics, meteorology and many more. Electronics engineering technology graduates work in communications electronics, including serving and installation of cellular phone systems, as well as maintenance of existing systems, including mini and mainframe computer systems. Graduates also have management skills required to pursue careers in business, industry, and government. EET graduates are well-equipped to install and maintain sophisticated electronic and computer systems, with emphasis on the management of the complete systems.
