Notes


*Students must complete the appropriate prerequisite credits for ENGL 415, but may apply only 3 of ENGL 415 prerequisite credit hours towards degree requirements.

**Humanities and social science electives are to be selected from the approved lists and the College of Engineering UGE requirements must also be met. The College of Engineering general education worksheet should be used to insure that the UGE requirements are met.

***Three technical electives are to be chosen from ME/NE courses with at least one course 600-level or above. Another technical elective course is to be chosen from 200-level or above College of Engineering (including ME/NE) classes. The remaining technical elective credits are to be chosen from 200-level or above College of Engineering, math, chemistry, physics, biology, or business administration classes or 400-level or above statistics classes. Other classes that strengthen a student’s program of study will be considered and require advisor and department head approval.

****ME 535 and NE 612 may both be taken and one of them applied as a Tech Elective. NE 612 must be taken for the NE Option.

*****Nuclear engineering option. The four nuclear engineering option courses fulfill the requirement of the three ME/NE and one College of Engineering technical elective courses.
