Footnotes

These courses can be taken in any order.
PDI II, VI, and General Manufacturing Processes satisfy the ME requirements for the concentration electives.
Candidate courses include STSS 4110, STSS 4250, STSS 4310, STSS 4350, STSS 4560, STSS 4650, and STSS 4960.
The STS Senior Project can be combined with the PDI Capstone Design Studio VII to make a 7-credit capstone project. Coordination should be done with the DSIS adviser.
