DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING SCIENCE
The President reported on a proposal by the School of Engineering, which was approved by the
University Senate at its meeting on 15 May 1962, to establish a degree in the School of Engineering
to be known as "Bachelor of Engineering Science." The basis for this proposal is that there has
arisen a need and demand for a degree with a curriculum which bridges science and mathematics and is
outside the specialized subject matter of any given branch of engineering. The adoption of this
degree will not involve any increase in the Engineering faculty since the available instructional
staff in Engineering and in the Research Laboratories for the Engineering Sciences will be
sufficient to offer this program at the present level of enrollment in the School of Engineering
Accordingly, the President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
there is hereby established in the School of Engineering a degree to be known as "Bachelor of
Engineering Science," effective 1 September 1962.
