Pre-Approved Technical Electives for BSME Students
Below are courses from other departments that have been pre-approved as technical electives for BSME students. However, any other non-ME courses not listed here must be approved by a BSME advisor in order to count toward ME technical electives. Note, lower-division courses cannot count toward technical electives and at least one of the technical electives you take must be an ME course.
