The undergraduate Industrial Engineering curriculum includes five (5) technical electives.
Elective choices:
- Select at least two (2) courses from any available IE catalog course that is not a required course in the curriculum. Select up to three (3) courses from other technical areas as suggested below.
OR
- Students may “design their own” technical elective curriculum with the approval of their faculty advisor. This should be done in the sophomore year so that a logical, approved plan can be made for satisfying the technical elective requirements.
In general, some guidelines must be followed when choosing courses outside of IE. First, the course must not be a course that is offered at a very basic or introductory level. Second, it must not significantly duplicate material in required IE courses or that are offered as electives in IE.
Note that if a student participates in co-op, a total of 3 credits of ENGR 1090 can be used as one technical elective as long as “S” grades are earned in all enrollments and a final co-op report (that meets required specifications) is submitted.
The following is a list of approved courses in a variety of technical areas but is in no way an exhaustive list.
