Bachelor of Science in Applied Science (Systems Science & Engineering) (ESE)
This program provides the student with the opportunity to prepare their academic career with maximum flexibility but also with enough organization to ensure substantive, consistent training in systems science methodology and outlook. This program is recommended if students wish to pursue a program that does not follow conventional lines. It is an especially advantageous degree for a double major in association with mathematics, physics, economics or another engineering discipline. The program can be planned to provide a desirable background for graduate work in biological, medical or management fields. This applied science degree is not accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
The degree requirements include the residency and general requirements of the university and the McKelvey School of Engineering as well as the following:
