One of the courses from the following list can be used toward the Technical Elective Concentration requirements: Humanities and Social Sciences Electives
In this area, electives are based on the Institute and School of Engineering requirements. Students are urged to select humanities and social science sequences with adequate breadth and depth in subject areas. Students desiring minors in humanities or social sciences must consult the school or department in which the courses are offered to obtain further information and specific requirements. Footnotes
- Placement of humanities and social science electives can be varied with free electives. The courses counted as free electives must show a minimum of 12 credit hours.
- Professional Development II will be fulfilled from a published list at the start of each semester and can be taken either semester. Professional Development III can be taken either semester of the senior year. Professional Development I is part of ENGR 2050.
- The minimum total credit hours of free electives is 12, with no restrictions on the included number of 3- and 4-credit hour courses.
