ME EN Technical Elective Schedule
Schedule Overview
ME EN technical electives offer the opportunity to dive deeper into mechanical engineering topics, often with an application-focus and smaller class sizes. Because of this and the variety of technical elective courses, they are offered less-frequently and typically once per academic year. Please refer to the schedule below for the tentative schedule of technical elective offerings. Due to teacher availability, the schedule below is subject to change.
Co-op, Design, & Research Options
Technical elective credit may be earned for co-op, design, and research experiences through the following courses:
- ME EN 4999 – Honors Thesis/Project
- ME EN 5910 – Cooperative Education/Internship– Apply here
- ME EN 5930 – Undergraduate Research– Apply here
- ME EN 5950 – Independent Study– Apply here
These courses allow the student to have experiences not normally available in regularly scheduled classes.
