Program Overview
The Management Science and Engineering undergraduate program provides students with the fundamentals of engineering systems analysis to plan, design, and implement complex economic and technical management systems. The program builds on foundational courses in calculus and linear algebra. You complete core courses in mathematical modeling, systems analysis, organization theory, optimization, probability, statistics, ethics, computer science, and economics, leading to a senior capstone project. Through the core, you are exposed to the breadth of faculty interests and prepared to study different areas of application of the department’s methodologies. To personalize your exploration, you select additional courses from three application areas of the department:
Finance and Decision: focuses on designing and analyzing financial and strategic plans
Operations and Analytics: focuses on algorithms, theory, designing and analyzing manufacturing, production, and service systems
Organizations, Technology, and Policy: focuses on understanding, designing, and analyzing organizations and public policy, particularly technology-based issues
The major prepares you for various career paths, including investment banking, management consulting, facilities, and process management, or graduate school in industrial engineering, operations research, business, economics, law, medicine, or public policy.
Minimum Units in the Program
Minimum University Units
All courses taken for the major must be taken for a letter grade. Minimum combined GPA for all courses in Engineering Topics (Engineering Fundamentals and Depth courses) is 2.0.
Students with ten AP Mathematics Calculus BC credit units begin with CME 100/MATH 51. Students with six AP Mathematics Calculus AB/IB unit credits are expected to start with MATH 21 and may skip MATH 19 and 20. Students without AB/IB credit, who have already studied the material in MATH 19 or MATH 20, may begin with MATH 20 or MATH 21 and petition to waive the skipped courses. Otherwise, students are expected to take MATH 19, 20, and 21.
AP/IB credit for Chemistry or Physics may be used for this requirement but will not satisfy a WAYS-SMA requirement.
A course may only be counted towards one major requirement; courses used to satisfy the TiS requirement may not also be used to meet a depth area requirement.
Complete one additional Engineering Fundamentals, Math, or Science Elective from the lists below.
The course may not repeat material from any other requirement, and may not also be used to satisfy another requirement.
AP/IB credit for Chemistry or Physics may be used for this requirement if not used to fulfill the science requirement above, but will not satisfy a WAYS-SMA requirement.
Only one of CS 106A or CS 106B is allowed to count toward the Engineering Fundamentals requirement.
Complete eight total courses; a minimum of two MS&E courses (this includes ENGR 145 and ENGR 148) from each of the three areas. For one of the two additional courses, students may petition to take a course outside of MS&E in one of the three areas.
