Often called America's most scenic city, San Francisco's breathtaking beauty is complemented by historic landmarks and one-of-a-kind neighborhoods. The Bay Area is also home to several top universities and an active engineering community. The fascinating folding and faulting of the Bay Area geology draws professionals from around the world and has inspired many advances in engineering practice and technology.
