To maintain the integrity of thecivil engineering program, all engineering courses within the current curriculum must be taken atRose-Hulman. Additional courses included in the BOK compliant tract to achieve specializationmay not necessarily be limited to courses offered at Rose-Hulman. Our intent is not to modifythe current curriculum but to offer an alternate tract within the current curriculum that wouldallow for students with sufficient off-curriculum hours to take the additional courses required forspecialization.

SE education is critical for the companies in the U.S. to remain competitiveand for U.S. engineering graduates to be able to participate in global engineering operations.This paper demonstrates some activities in designing a Bachelor of Science in SystemsEngineering (BSSE) curriculum. The activities include benchmarking other similar programs,performing an industry needs analysis, and fulfilling the needs from other engineeringdepartments and the institution’s B.S. requirements.

For manystudents, the combination of difficulties with the level of mathematics and passivitywithin the traditional lecture style has an overwhelmingly negative impact on their abilityto learn and understand the subject matter. In recent years, scientific visualization hasemerged as an important tool in helping us understand many complex physicalphenomena. However, the problem of translating standard mathematical notation into thetraditional high-level computer languages has made it difficult to use programming andcomputers in the undergraduate classroom.To overcome these problems, state-of-the-art software for mathematical computing isbeing integrated into the teaching process to facilitate and foster an active
