Learn about FAS life straight from our current students.

Nicolas - Engineering Science

"Coming out of high school, I was very keen on attending a university that puts a strong emphasis on hands-on learning and entrepreneurialism. At SFU, I found numerous opportunities to not only learn how to start a business in the tech industry, but also have my ideas kick-started financially as well as have industry-leading mentors to guide me along my journey."

Lina - Software Systems

"SFU offered an opportunity for me to learn more about my two passions: design and development. Through software system’s practical, hands-on curriculum, I had the ability to apply my learnings through projects and gain the skills to write industry quality software."

Felipe - Sustainable Energy Engineering

"Being from a developing country with an Indigenous population that struggles to find representation in today’s society pushed me to look for an engineering program that taps into sustainability. I want to represent marginalized communities and use the knowledge I gained at SFU to make an impact through my profession."
