NOTE: * All university core courses and technical and design electives must be approved by the student's advisor. Technical electives are any ME CE, EE, or ENGR courses numbered above 300 not required by the ME curriculum. Other suitable courses may be used as technical electives subject to approval of the Mechanical
& Biomedical Engineering Department.
**Courses that instill cultural values are acceptable while routine exercises of personal craft are not. Students wanting to use ART 290 as an in-depth Art course must take an Area I core Art course as a prerequisite to ART 290. |
