Bachelor of Science
in Engineering— Interdisciplinary Engineering

The Electrical Engineering Department offers a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) degree program for students wishing to supplement a strong core curriculum in electrical engineering science and design with courses from mathematics, science, business, biomedicine, or another engineering discipline. While not ABET accredited, the B.S.E. degree program offers the student greater flexibility to create a plan of study to accommodate broad interdisciplinary interests and objectives. The plan coincides with the traditional B.S.E.E. curriculum through the sophomore year and then diverges to include EE electives and courses from interdisciplinary areas in the remainder of the curriculum.

The minimum number of credit hours for graduation is 129, distributed as follows for each discipline:

1. Mathematics and Physical Sciences
 a. Calculus: MATH 163, 164, 261, and 262 18
 b. Chemistry: CHEM C111 and C112 7
 c. Physics: PHYS 152 and 251 9
2. Communications and Ethics
 a. Speech: COMM R110 3
 b. Writing: ENG W131 3
 c. Communication in Engineering Practice: TCM 360 2
 d. Engineering Ethics and Professionalism: EE 400 and 401 2
3. Humanities and Social Sciences
 a. Economics: ECON E201 3
 b. Electives 15
4. Freshman Engineering Courses
 a. Engineering Problem Solving: EE 196 3
 b. Computer Programming: EE 195 3
5. Electrical Engineering Courses
 a. EE Core: EE 201, 202, 207, 208, 255, 266, 267, 301, and 362 22
 b. EE Electives (any EE 300-, 400-, or 500-level course) 12
6. Technical Elective Course3
7. Interdisciplinary Area
 a. Core Requirements 12
 b. Core Electives 12
