The Bachelor of Science in Engineering curriculum is a general engineering program designed for working adults interested in technical career advancement.Applicants to the BS in Engineering degree program are expected to have a background in algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, physics and chemistry. Students who have not taken Calculus I will be required to take a math placement test. A high school diploma is required with some college background (in math and/or engineering). Students are required to have a strong math background.

BSE Students will gain an understanding of math and science skills required for the practice of engineering; a broad-based core of engineering knowledge applicable to all fields of engineering; an ability to use modern computational tools used in engineering practice; opportunities to explore their technical area of interest via elective courses and the capstone project. Electives are available in computer engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and quality assurance science.

Students must successfully complete 126 units of academic work with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better in the following areas: 33 Units in the Basic Science Sequence including Calculus I, II, III, Physics I, II, III, Chemistry I and II, Ordinary Differential Equations, and Probability and Statistics Lower Division; 30 Units in General Education Lower Division; 30 Units in General Engineering Lower/Upper Division; 30 Units in Electives Upper Division; 3 Units in Capstone Upper Division. Courses are offered in a systematic manner, i.e., where applicable, prerequisites will be completed before the student can enroll in subsequent high-level offerings.
