BSES学位的目标是提供具有强大工程学基础的学习计划，但课程中要有足够的灵活性，使学生可以专注于更广泛的特定兴趣，例如：医学前，法律前，管理，能源和健康。不需要认证的环境。不建议有兴趣作为专业工程师（PE）获得执照的学生使用此课程。该课程最适合那些明确定义了职业目标且可以通过获得更广泛的工程学学位而获得服务的学生，并且需要获得专业执照（甚至是从事工程师工作）不是目标（例如，工商管理，法律，医学等）。由于该学位是非系学位，因此该课程无法使学生为系课程中的学生提供常规的职业机会做好准备。应用数学，科学和工程知
The goal of the BSES degree is to provide a program of study with a strong engineering foundation, but enough flexibility in the curriculum for students to focus on specific broader interests such as: pre-medicine, pre-law, management, energy, and the environment, where accreditation is not necessary. This program is not recommended for students interested in obtaining licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE).The program is suited best for those students who have clearly defined career goals better served by a more general degree in engineering and for whom professional licensure (or even practicing as an engineer) is not a goal (e.g. business administration, law, medicine, etc.). Because the degree is non-departmental, the program does not prepare the students for the conventional career opportunities available to students in departmental programs.an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams. an ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. an ability to communicate effectively. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context
