It's the profession that's given us the tools and technology to engineer safer and more efficient automobiles, airplanes, and satellites. It's building spaceships and microchips, bridges and tunnels, computers and compact discs. Engineers often work with teams to take raw materials and apply scientific principles to create solutions to problems, to produce new products, to generate a new process-all to improve the quality of every day life. At SDSU, the engineering, technology, physics, mathematics, and computer science programs are a combination of strong engineering classes, a broad general education, and hands-on learning experiences. Students take classes in the social and natural sciences, mathematics, humanities, and fine arts, in addition to having those valued technical skills employers look for.
Students receive hands-on, practical experience when they work on research and design projects.
By their senior year, all of our students have advanced through the various levels of design, creation, and project management. They learn the connections between theory, design, and practice.
