The California State University has made it a priority to supply the state’s engineering industries with job-ready graduates. In 2009-10, the CSU granted over 3,900 bachelor’s degrees in engineering, totaling about 45 percent of the engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded in the state.

The CSU has revitalized and enhanced the engineering programs on its campuses, resulting in a 31 percent increase in engineers graduating from the CSU over the past eight years.

Additionally, the CSU has made a concerted effort to help the industry reflect California’s diversity by reaching out to underserved students and women to increase their participation in engineering programs and related studies. This has been accomplished by creating numerous partnerships with organizations in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. More.

Building a Better Future

In an effort to prepare job-ready graduates, CSU campuses emphasize the need for hands-on experience. The lessons learned through various academic activities teach students the essential skills that will help them thrive in the industry.

Each CSU engineering department maintains a curriculum that allows students to step out of the classroom and apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems through interactive assignments. More.

Accelerating California’s Engineering Industry

Covering engineering disciplines from aerospace, biomedical and marine to chemical, industrial and electrical, the CSU offers numerous undergraduate and graduate degrees that students can choose from.

Along with an array of engineering concentrations, several CSU campuses house facilities to assist students with their classes, help scholars improve their skills and offer undergraduates and graduates additional learning opportunities. More.
