Carina, NYC AddedMonday, March 17, 2014 at 4:56 PM What is the difference between a BSE and a BEng? Hi there! I am thinking about studying engineering in college. What is the difference between a Bachelors of Science in ____ Engineering VERSUS a Bachelors of Engineering in ____ Engineering. (The _____ represents whichever chosen field, such as chemical or mechanical). Thank you.

Each school decides what their particular degree will be called, but for practical purposes such as applying for graduate school or employment, they are the same thing.
