    Franciscan Approach to Engineering 

    Real world experience is the hallmark of engineering at SFU.  Our students put their education into action by doing design projects for class, paid internships, summer research and engineering service projects both here in Pennsylvania and abroad.  By combining classroom learning with authentic projects, our students develop the wide variety of skills needed to be successful in the rapidly growing field of engineering.

    Degree Options

    • Environmental Engineering a four-year program all at Saint Francis leading to a B.S. in environmental engineering from SFU.
    • 3-2 Dual Degree Engineering a five-year program in any branch of engineering leading to a B.A. from SFU and a B.S. from the partner school.

  • Rising Engineering Star

    Kelsea Palmer

    In 2012, Kelsea Palmer gained a wide variety of experience at her internship with BioMost. Kelsea is shown above replacing the limestone in a mine drainage treatment system. She also performed environmental monitoring, AutoCad work, and grant writing during her internship.

    The practical experience that Kelsea gained has helped make her a highly employable engineer. In fact, she has already been offered a job at BioMost.
