Undergraduate Electives
Communication Skills Elective
|
| |
To complete the Communications Skills Elective, one of the following courses or options should be chosen
Industrial Enginnering Department
ENGR 1010 - Communications Skills for Engineers
Rhetoric and Communication Department
COMMRC 0500 - Argument
COMMRC 0520 - Public
COMMRC 0540 - Discussion
COMMRC 1101 - Evidence
English Department
ENGCMP 0400 - WPC Written Professional Communication
-Note that English BW (Basic Writing) or English GW (General Writing) cannot be used to satisfy this requirement. All engineering students complete an examination upon entry into the University and if it is determined that the student is weak in written communication, English GW is required as a remedial course beyond the normal requirements.

Open Elective |
| |
Any course that is NOT of a similar nature to, or lower level than, a required or previously taken course can be used to fulfill this requirement. Three credits of Physical Education, or three credits of Band, ROTC, or Chorus may also be used as an open elective. Up to three credits of CO-OP may also be used to fulfill the open elective provided that the student participates in the Senior Design Expo by presenting a Poster on his/her COOP experience.

Computer Engineering Design Electives |
| |
Each student is required to take at least one"COE Design Elective" from a set of courses so designated. These courses have a very limited enrollment. Design courses include:
CoE 1192 - VLSI Design
CoE 1160 - Embedded Computer System Design
CoE 1161 - Embedded Computer System Design 2
CoE 1622 - Compiler Design

Special Projects |
| |
The COE 1898 Special Projects Course is a course number which is designed to be used for unique situations which may occur within a particular student's program. The use of this course to fulfill a requirement generally falls into three categories, an COE Required or Elective Course, a Technical Elective, or a COE Design Course. In each case the student must submit a petition to the Undergraduate Administrator (Melissa Affolter) indicating the course to be fulfilled, the rationale for using this particular course number, and the signature of the faculty who has agreed to monitor the completion of the coursework and grading. |
