  • (1) Science elective I: Chosen from ECE 200; BIOL 201, 202; MSE 209; CHEM 152; PHYS 252; or advisor approved 2xx SEAS technical elective

  • (2) HSS electives are chosen from the approved list available in A122 Thornton Hall. You can find the list online here.

  • (3) Primary minor electives must be chosen so as to earn an approved SEAS technical minor. Once minor reequirements are satisfied, any 2xx or higher technical SEAS course is acceptable.

  • (4) Secondary minor electives must be chosen so as to earn an approved technical minor in SEAS, mathematics, or a natural science.

  • (5) Advanced math/CS elective: One 3xx-level or higher mathematics course in SEAS or CLAS; or one 2xx-level or higher course in computer science.

  • (6) Science elective II: Either CHEM 152 with lab or PHYS 252 with workshop is required.

  • (7) Area of concentration: Courses are chosen so as to provide identity and depth to the student's major field. Advisor approval is required.

  • (8) Unrestricted electives may be chosen from any graded course in the University except mathematics courses below MATH 131, including STAT 110 and STAT 112, and courses that substantially duplicate others used for the student's degree.

  • (9) Advanced elective: 3xx level or higher course in natural sciences or SEAS. The course must have science or mathematics prerequisites.

  • (10) Advanced project is a graded research, independent study, or design course intended to supplement the student's thesis work. Individual or group projects are possible. Engineering in Context (EIC) courses may substitute, upon advisor approval.
