Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) Programs
The Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering offers three degree majors leading to B.S.E. degrees: Electrical Engineering, Systems Science and Engineering, and Computer and Telecommunications Engineering.
All candidates for either of these B.S.E. degrees are required to satisfactorily complete a minimum of 40 course units. (A lecture or laboratory course meeting three or four hours a week typically carries one course unit. Some courses carry more than one course unit; examples include lecture courses with a substantial laboratory component.) These course units (c.u's.) are distributed amongst the following six categories: Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Engineering, Other Electives, Social Sciences & Humanities, and Free Electives. The specific academic program of the student has to meet general University and accreditation guidelines and is determined in consultation with the student's academic advisor.
