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. Those who are interested in SAGE should not take the course from this list.
