I just made an account on here so I just thought it was kind of a coincidence to see this post...I'm studying for my BS in astrophysics right now at SFSU. Not so sure about engineering, but I know a handful of masters students at SFSU and they say that the Physics masters program is really good but it is definitely rigorous. There are a lot of good teachers in upper division physics courses, however some of them are very harsh graders. For the small to no reputation SFSU has for physics I believe they train their masters students really well.
Hope I was of a little help!
