Aerospace Technical Electives


Mechanical Engineering students must take a total of 15 credits (5 courses) worth of Technical Electives. If a student takes MAE 1010  within the first 30 credits of the Pre-Professional Program, they are required to take 12 credit hours (4 courses) worth of technical electives. The Aerospace Emphasis requires 12 credits (4 courses) of the technical electives to be aerospace. 

One elective course must be MAE 5500  or MAE 5560 .

The other three elective courses may be any of the following:
