Introduction
SFA’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering forms highly trained students educated in either mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or engineering physics.
Combining practical industry knowledge with hands-on experiences is our goal, with opportunities for research and collaborative projects that prepare students for diverse career opportunities. Our student-to-faculty ratio is 17:1, meaning you will receive a personalized education from dedicated faculty and staff who are involved in classes and labs. Your education culminates with a capstone project, which will be a multidisciplinary effort with your peers.
Mission Statement
The primary mission of SFA’s Department of Physics, Engineering and Astronomy is to train and equip the next generation of physicists, engineers and astronomers for lasting careers in the physical sciences and engineering fields. The department values and strives to create a welcoming, engaging, inclusive and supportive environment in order to optimize student mentorship and foster learning.
Eyes to the future
Technology has changed the way humans live, and as electricity becomes a basic essential for so many things, the demand for engineers to design, develop and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment significantly multiplies.
We recognize this need and have dedicated a program to preparing trailblazing electrical engineers of tomorrow. At SFA, you will get the attention you want and deserve with classes typically capped at 20 students and taught by devoted faculty members who have built strong relationships in the engineering industry. You’ll also have the opportunity to take classes in SFA’s state-of-the-art Cole STEM Building and access to all the technology it provides.
Be a part of shaping tomorrow’s tech future, and let SFA help get you there.
