Technical Electives

• The Computational Elective must be either MANE 4240 Introduction to Finite Elements, MANE 4963 Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics, MANE 4280 Design Optimization: Theory and Practice, or MTLE 4500 Computational Methods for Materials Design.
• The first Technical Elective must be taken from any upper-level (4000 or above) MANE course.
• The second Technical Elective may be selected from any upper-level (4000 or above) course in the School of Engineering or the School of Science.  An independent study course, such as a design project or an undergraduate research project in the School of Engineering or the School of Science may also be used to satisfy this requirement.
• Computational and Technical Electives may not be taken on a Pass/No Credit basis.

Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Electives

In this area, the electives are based on the Institute and School of Engineering requirements. Students are urged to elect humanities, arts, and social science sequences through which they will obtain adequate breadth and depth in subject areas. Students desiring minors in Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences must consult the school or department in which the courses are offered to obtain further information and specific requirements.
