We are usingan emerging method for quantifying the complexity of these programs called CurricularAnalytics. This method involves treating the prerequisite relationships between courses as anetwork and applying graph theoretic measures to calculate a curriculum’s complexity. In Year 1,we collected 494 plans of study representing five engineering disciplines (i.e., Mechanical, Civil,Electrical, Chemical, and Industrial) across 13 institutions - spanning a decade.
