General Admissions

Entrance Requirements and Recommendations

Requirements

Application fee - $55.00. Admission of freshmen are based on the "Eligibility Index" of applicants:
EI = 800 x GPA + SAT or 200 x GPA + 10 x ACT

For fall 2008, the average eligibility index of admitted freshmen who met the selective criteria was 4,182 (1,009 if based on ACT). The average high school grade point average was 3.77. The average SAT Reasoning Test total score was 1,165; the average ACT composite score was 25. The eligibility index for fall 2009 may be higher.

First-time freshman applicants must complete with grades of C or higher, the 15-unit comprehensive pattern of college preparatory courses.

English: 4 years
Mathematics: 3 years. Algebra I, geometry, and algebra II. Other advanced courses that require algebra and geometry as prerequisites are also acceptable. Computer programming courses do not fulfill the math requirements. A fourth year of mathematics is highly recommended.
Social Science: 2 years, including one year of U.S. history and government.
Laboratory Science: 2 years. 1 year biology/1 year physical science
Foreign Language: 2 years of the same language. (Subject to waiver for applicants demonstrating equivalent competence.)
Visual and Performing Arts: 1 year (must be a year-long visual and performing arts course in a single area). Visual art, dance, drama/theatre, or music.
Electives: 1 year. College preparatory courses selected from English, advanced mathematics, social studies, history, laboratory science, agriculture, foreign language, and visual and performing arts.

College Description

Engineering College Description and Special Characteristics

The College of Engineering was established in 1961, although the first engineering courses were offered in 1922. The Bachelor of Science degree is offered in seven major fields of engineering. At the graduate level, the Master of Science degree is offered in five fields including bioengineering as well as a Master of Engineering degree in manufacturing and design. A joint doctoral degree in engineering science/applied mechanics with the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) is also offered. All programs are ABET accredited. The College of Engineering also provides study abroad programs, international internships, and faculty-led programs in Poland and Italy. Also offered is the Engineering Internship Program which seeks to place students in internships with local industry partners where they will have the opportunity to gain hands on experience while they study. In addidtion there are many active student organizations with proven records of winning many national and international student design contests.

Concrete Research Institute

The Concrete Research Institute supports educational needs in civil engineering curriculum and concrete research performed for sponsors from industry and governments. The institute encompasses a wide range of topics. The main emphasis is currently on concrete materials and structures. Civil and environmental engineering faculty members are involved with finding optimum design solutions in bridges, seismic resistant structures, residential buildings, and retaining walls.

Energy Engineering Institute

The centerpiece of San Diego State University's manufacturing endeavors is the Facility for Applied Manufacturing Enterprise. FAME was planned as an interdisciplinary center-of-excellence dedicated to science and technology in the area of manufacturing. Its mission is to provide students with a complete and emersive product development environment in which to augment their job experiences with next-century tools and strategies. This facility evolved from the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) center founded in 1988. Since then, it has grown considerably in physical size and scope. FAME resources include 3000 square feet of dedicated floor space in the Engineering and Engineering Laboratory Buildings and another 2000 square feet for student projects. Manufacturing related equipment includes plastic injection, compression, extrusion, poltrusion, resin transfer molding and vacuum forming equipment, a composite repair station, ultrasonic scanning equipment, platen presses, mechanical testing machines, ovens, CNC lathe and mill, automated parts bin, and four multi-axis robots. A 3" diameter by 15" long, high pressure and temperature autoclave facility is currently under construction.
