The BSE graduate will be able to analyze and model complex electrical and mechanical systems by applying principles of mathematics and physics. The faculty found that many students were not able to succeed in the BSE program. As a result, the Engineering faculty decided to require two courses in calculus and physics before allowing students to begin the BSE core courses.

Subjects covered include physics, chemistry, computer science, networks and English.
An analysis comparing GPA and BSE Qualifying Exam scores is in process. The result of the analysis was used to make passing the exam a program requirement. Results from the GRE have not been incorporated into the BSE program, nor is it clear that it would be possible since the GRE gives an over-all score not broken down by subject area. These results demonstrated that the mathematics and engineering science level of the BSE program is sufficient and therefore no improvements have been suggested. The BSE graduate will be able to apply principles of engineering science mathematics to the design of sophisticated and complex systems within performance specifications as well as time and budgetary limitations.
