** Core option – specific course determined by engineering program

(1) Basic Science electives – note: engineering programs may have specific requirements

- one elective must have a laboratory component

- two electives from the same science field cannot be selected

(2) General Education Electives – chosen by the student

- can be used towards a minor or ME concentration area

- can be applied for research or approved international studies

‡ T.E.: Mechanical Engineering Elective (to be selected from available ME 4xx and ME 5xx course offerings), can be used towards ME concentration area.
