Misinformation10. Implementation will occur instantly.
9. Current P.E.’s must obtain a “M/30.” 8. The goal is to eliminate the 4-year degree.7. Education is more important than Experience.6. All BSCE graduates need to be licensed.5. “M/30” should follow directly after “B.”4. Degrees (not knowledge) are the key.3. “M” means traditional MS degree with thesis.2. The current BSCE will not be changed.1. We are working for faculty job security.

“It is evident that the exploding body of science and engineering knowledge can not be accommodated within the context of the traditional four year baccalaureate degree.”
