Engineering Student Success Center

San Jose State University lies in the heart of Silicon Valley, an area known for its entrepreneurial spirit, making it one of the most dynamic places in the U.S. This institution has met this community's evolving demands for over 160 years and was recognized as one of the four most transformative universities in the nation. San Jose State dates back to 1946, with the Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering. Initially, it offered courses supporting food processing, construction, and manufacturing. With an active college community of nearly 700 staff, close to 400 faculty members, and over 7,000 students from a diverse background, the college continually leads in addressing real-world global challenges. It facilitates smart city design and transportation reimagining, space technology research, intelligent medicines, solutions for marginalized communities, and cyberspace safety. The Davidson College of Engineering faculty instil social responsibility, teamwork, and cultural sensitivity in students from diverse backgrounds, and more of its graduates access Silicon Valley employment than alumni from any other college or university. Our engineering program ranks among the best in the nation due to its hands-on learning, applied research opportunities, and industry professionals' interdisciplinary teamwork (San Jose State University, 2022). Our graduates are thus the best-prepared engineers in the right places and ideal moments.
