Basic Engineering Elective & Free Elective
Basic Engineering Elective
CEAE students are encouraged to take GEEN 1400 Engineering Projects, but a basic engineering elective may be substituted. This is most common for students who transfer into the College of Engineering & Applied Science after their first year.
A basic engineering elective isany 3‐credit technical course given in the engineering college with a designator ASEN, AREN, APPM, CHEN, COEN, CVEN, CSCI, ECEN, EMEN, EVEN, GEEN, or MCEN, or other course approved by the CEAE Curriculum Committee.Remedial courses (precalculus, etc.) or courses approved as HSS electives mayԴdzbe used.
Additional basic engineering electives approved by the CEAE Curriculum Committee:
- ATLS 1300 Computational Foundations 1
- BMEN 2000 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering
Important to know:
- If you missed the opportunity to take GEEN 1400 but still want to take a projects course, considerGEEN 2400 Engineering Projects for the Community or GEEN 3400 Invention & Innovation.
- Architectural Engineering students interested in Construction Engineering & Management may want to consider takingCVEN 2012 Intro to Geomatics as a basic engineering elective or free elective.
Free Elective
A free elective can be any college‐level course, except:
- Cannot be remedial courses needed to fulfill deficiencies (precalculus, introductory chemistry, etc.)
- Cannot be similar to other courses used toward graduation requirements (algebra‐based physics, etc.)
Free elective requirements and approved courses vary by major/department. Courses that are approved freeelectives for other majors may not be accepted for your degree. Make sure you're referring to the information abovewhen choosing freeelectives, and contact your advisor with questions.
