Programs Learning Objectives

Bachlor of Science in General Engineering (BSGE)

Program LOs: Graduates will be able to (1) communicate effectively, work well on teams, and understand the social and economic impact of their work, (2) to apply their mathematics, science, and engineering knowledge to the design, analysis, and diagnosis of engineering systems, (3) to engage in life long independent learning to identify and respond to changes.
Objectives: The program provides students with a strong core understanding in mathe­matics, science, and engineering with the ability to continue to learn how to apply this expertise to a range of engineering problems. The concentration aims at producing graduates with a strong foundation of computer science theory and practice, and the ability to continue to learn and apply new information technologies.
Structure: The program requires 135 SCH: University Common Core 44, School Core 36, General Engineering Major (including 12 SCH concentration in Computer Science) 43, Minor in Mathematics (including 6 SCH from the School Core) 15, and Electives 3.
Comparability: This program is comparable with academic programs offered by the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, the Michigan Technological University, and the online California National University for Advanced Studies program.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS)

Program LOs: Graduates will be able to (1) communicate effectively, work well on teams, and understand the social and economic impact of their work, (2) to apply their mathematics, science, and engineering knowledge to the design, analysis, and diagnosis of computer systems, (3) to engage in life long independent learning to identify and respond to changes.
Objectives: This degree provides students with the ability to carry out advanced work in specific areas of computer science (CS); perform hands-on work in CS; learn and apply new techniques and technologies; and be able to move into graduate programs in CS or related fields.
Structure: The program requires 134 SCH: University Common Core 44, School Core 36, Computer Science Major 30, Minor of the student’s choice 15, and Electives 9.
Comparability: This BS, which has been designed based on the 2000 ACM Computing Curriculum, is comparable to programs, such as the BS in Software Engineering at Mississippi State University and the ABET accredited BSCS in the College of Science at California State University at Pomona.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Management Science (BSEMS)

Program LOs: Graduates will be able to (1) communicate effectively, work well on teams, and understand the social and economic impact of their work, (2) to apply their mathematics, science, management, finance, and engineering knowledge to the design, analysis, and diagnosis of engineering systems and engineering economics, (3) to engage in life long independent learning to identify and respond to changes.
Objectives: The program prepares students to apply scientific and engineering approaches to solving problems in a business or industrial setting.  It provides them with an understanding of the dynamics of corporate operations that will better prepare them for managerial or technical leadership roles in the corporate environment.
Structure: The program requires 135 SCH: University Common Core 44, School Core 36, Engineering and Management Science Major 43, Minor in Mathematics (including 9 SCH from the School Core) 15, and Electives 6.
Comparability: This program is modeled after the Stanford University Management Science and Engineering program.  It is comparable in overall breadth and in its entire requirements.
