Design Courses and Major Approved Electives

Students must take a total of five courses from the following lists of electives. At least three of these courses must be CEE Design Courses (designated by an asterisk), one of which must be a "capstone" course (designated by bold type). All three design courses cannot address the same engineering context. Instead, at least one of the three design courses must address a different engineering context from the others. (See Table Below on Design Course Selection).
