Curriculum

The curriculum guide helps you better understand not only what courses you will be taking, but what those courses really involve.

Last Updated: 03/05/2026 | All information is accurate and still up-to-date

This guide helps you see your path through the eight semesters of the BSIE degree. As a result, you can better understand how courses fit together throughout the program.

ISE PRO TIP: Use this guide as a template rather than a strict plan. The BSIE program is flexible, so you may move courses to fit your schedule. Therefore, meet with your advisor regularly to review your progress and adjust your plan as needed.

This guide also helps you understand what each course involves and how courses connect across the curriculum. Each course includes a + Show More link that provides helpful details like:

  • The course description
  • The credit hours
  • Any required co-requisites or prerequisites.
  • Any future courses that require that class as a prerequisite

Throughout the guide, you will find ISE PRO TIPS that explain important aspects of the program. Beginning in your fifth semester, you will also see orange courses labeled CP. These critical path courses represent key major requirements that support your success in the BSIE program. If you have questions, contact your faculty advisor.
