Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Electrical Engineering] From San Francisco State University

The electrical engineering curriculum at SFSU prepares students for the profession by developing their ability to formulate and solve engineering problems and design and analyze electrical components and systems. In their first two years, students obtain a solid foundation in mathematics and sciences. In their third year, students are introduced to a broad spectrum of electrical engineering disciplines.

In their senior year, students gain in-depth knowledge in elective areas such as electronics, computers, communication and robotics. They consolidate their educational experience with a capstone senior project in which they design a complete, working electronic system. In addition to solving technical problems, engineers must also be responsible and respected members of the community. Therefore, the curriculum includes a range of general education courses to round out the student's university education.
