Please read the following restrictions before selecting your courses:
(*) Provide a syllabus for the term you are seeking or documentation of technical content.
(**) 300 level or above ENMA Specialization courses can count as a Technical Elective however, the single course cannot count as meeting the requirement of both a Specialization and a Technical Elective.
(*** ENMA466) If this course was approved as alternate Capstone by your advisor, it cannot count as Specialization or Technical Elective.
Approval Process for MSE Technical Electives
Students must come prepared to their regular advising session with proposed technical electives on semesters they will register for them. Retroactive approvals will only be considered for students transferring to MSE from another program. The student must articulate in a reasonable way how the proposed course will help to meet specific intellectual or career goals. If the course control code is 300 or 400 level in MATH, CHEM, PHYS, CMSC, or any engineering major* (e.g., BIOE, CHBE, ENEE, etc), then the advisor may promptly approve the course at their discretion. The advisor may also approve other courses, if the course content otherwise meets the degree requirements for technical electives. Such approval may require documentation, e.g. syllabus or example course materials, and/or additional review time.
Upon completion of advising, any proposed Tech Elective that is not pre-approved by the advisor may be proposed by the student for approval of the Undergraduate Program Committee, by submission to the committee chair using the below form.
*Note: ENES is not a major and so ENES classes require special approval. It is rare that ENES classes are accepted due to departmental requirements for significant quantitative analysis and critical thinking relevant to engineering in Technical Electives.
