SFA’s Mechanical Engineering program is designed for students who desire to enter industry. The curriculum provides a broad range of courses in the areas of solid mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, design and manufacturing, and dynamics. One important aspect of this program is the balance between theory and hands-on practice.

SFA’s Electrical Engineering program is designed to prepare students for careers in areas such as digital systems, embedded processor applications, control systems, sensor networks, microelectronics and power systems. These careers are in applications, research, development, and design of electric and electronic systems and devices.

SFA’s ABET accredited Engineering Physics degree is designed for students seeking innovative careers in high-tech areas where multiple engineering disciplines merge. Graduates will be prepared to enter diverse areas such as mechanical controls, digital and analog electronics, instrumentation, robotics and manufacturing process control.

Students wishing to major in mechanical, electrical, civil, petroleum, chemical, or any of the many fields of engineering may take their first two years in pre-engineering at Stephen F. Austin State University and transfer to another university to complete their engineering degree requirements.
 

The Physics-Engineering Dual Degree Program provides an option through which students may spend three years at SFA before transferring. Students who complete the Dual Degree curriculum will receive a B.S. degree in physics from SFA and a B.S. degree in engineering from their chosen engineering school.

A minor in engineering requires a minimum of 18 hours of engineering courses. Students with majors in physics, mathematics, chemistry, geology, or computer science can include this minor to enhance their high-tech degree. All minor programs must be approved on the degree plan by the Chair of the Department.
