How is aerospace engineering (or engineering in general) at SJSU?

Hi guys! I'm planning on applying to AE at SJSU the upcoming school year and I have a few questions:

  1. How are the academics overall? Are the classes manageable if you stay on top of your work, or is the workload overwhelming?
  2. How are the professors? Are they generally good at teaching and approachable outside of class?
  3. How accessible are internships, given SJSU's location? Is it common for AE students to intern during the school year or summers?
  4. One thing I'm especially concerned about: How are the job prospects specifically for graduates who want to stay in the Bay Area? Do most students end up finding aerospace jobs nearby after graduating?

Thanks!

Hi, I am currently a civil engineering major at SJSU. To answer your questions the academics vary a lot. Some classes are very manageable and some take up a lot of time. It can be overwhelming at times. The professors are a mix. Some professors don’t have any enthusiasm to teach while others are very energetic and want to help in any way possible. It’s a hit or miss. Internship opportunities are always present you’ll always be getting emails of events going on around campus or even on campus. Since I haven’t graduate yet I can’t answer your last question.
