Engineering Societies

The School of Engineering at San Francisco State University offers a great opportunity to succeed in the profession of engineering. Excellent professors, a large variety of classes, and a diverse student body all contribute to an exciting experience at SFSU. Complementing the academic opportunities, membership in professional engineering societies is available. We believe that the academic rigors of the engineering curriculum should be balanced with involvement in extracurricular activities, including the engineering societies that exist at SFSU.

Governed by the Student Advisory Board (SAB), the societies at SFSU offer a wide variety of experiences and opportunities including networking, career planning, job placement, tours of industrial facilities, tutoring, and leadership. Whether your focus is in machine design, integrated circuits, or structural design, there is an engineering society for you. Currently, societies at SFSU include
