ME Restricted Electives

Advanced Elective 

Mechanical Engineering majors complete four Advanced Elective courses (16 units). Acceptable courses include all engineering (ENG) courses 300 level or above (including ENG ME 452 and ENG ME 457), as long as there is not significant overlap with other courses being used for the degree (See Notes below). A minimum of 2 engineering (ENG) courses at or above the 300 level are required.

• The following courses are also acceptable:
  • CAS AS 414 – Solar and Space Physics
  • CAS PY 313/314 – Waves and Modern Physics
  • CAS PY 321 & 322  -Thermal Physics (2 cr) & Quantum Physics (2 cr)
  • ENG BE 209 – Principles of Molecular Cell Biology and Biotechnology
  • HUB XC 433 D1 The Art and Science of Technology Consulting (F24 & Sp25)
  • HUB XC 438 The Art and Sci of Tech Consulting
  • QST SI 480 – The Business of Technology Innovation
  • QST SI 482 – Technology & Its CommercializationAdditionally other 300-level or above Mathematics and Natural Science courses may be acceptable by petition.

Notes For each of the following sets of courses, only one course can be taken for credit in each set due to the overlap of material:

1. ENG ME 403, ENG ME 404, ENG EC 402, ENG BE 404
2. ENG ME 303, ENG BE 436
3. ENG ME 306, ENG BE 425
4. ENG EK 103, CAS MA 242
5. ENG BE 403, ENG EC 401
6. ENG EK 381, CAS MA 381
7. ENG BE 428, ENG BE 478
8. CAS PY 313, CAS PY 314, CAS PY321 & 322
