Welcome Messages

Dear Prospective Engineering Student:

Welcome to the official web site of the School of Engineering. The School of Engineering at SFSU has approximately 700 undergraduate students majoring in it's Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering programs. There are also approximately 50 graduate students working toward their Masters of Science in Engineering degrees within two specialty areas: Electrical and Computer Engineering and Structural Engineering.

Our educational goal is to produce "Industry-Ready Engineers." To achieve this goal, we emphasize hands-on experience and a can-do attitude throughout our curriculum. You will spend lots of time in our laboratories learning problem solving skills. You will also be working with your fellow engineering students in teams to solve practical engineering problems. In addition, you will learn to communicate effectively with faculty, students, and industrial representatives by writing technical memos, reports, and making professional presentations. You see, there is much hard, but very enjoyable, work ahead of you if you choose to join us in the coming semester. As the Director of the School of Engineering, I can assure you that our 18 full time, dedicated faculty will be there with you every step of the way to encourage, to motivate, and to educate you to become an Industry-Ready Engineer when you graduate from SFSU. Are you ready for the challenge?

If you have any questions regarding orientation, transfer course evaluation, general education, or other issues, please feel free to call me at 415 338-1174, or send email to me at wspong@sfsu.edu. I strongly recommend that you pay us a visit, if you have not done so, to address any problems or questions you might have. My office is in the Science Building, Room 163.

Once again, thank you visiting of our web site. I look forward to meeting many great candidates for "Industry-Ready Engineers" in the coming semester. I sincerely hope that you are one of them!

Sincerely,
Dr. Wenshen Pong, P.E.
Director
