Morphology
bachelor + of + science + in + engineering
The phrase is compositionally built from its parts: 'bachelor' denotes an undergraduate degree, 'of science' specifies the degree type, and 'in engineering' names the field, so the overall meaning 'an undergraduate science degree in engineering' is directly derivable. This follows common degree-naming patterns found across languages and would be intelligible to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Bachelor of Science in Engineering comes from the old word bachelor, which long ago meant a young scholar or the first university degree, and the words science in engineering show the subject studied. So the full phrase names the 'first university degree in engineering' and today means an undergraduate engineering degree.
