1 ENGR 459, ENGR 460, and ENGR 461 (6 units) may substitute for ME 428, ME 429, and ME 430 (6 units).
*** Refer to current catalog for course selection. ME 470, ME 471, ME 570 and ME 571 are variable topics courses and may or may not count as ME electives.
Please contact instructor for additional information. ME 400 and ME 500 are independent study classes and may be acceptable for technical elective credit. A
course substitution form is required. Exceptions to this policy are possible through consultation with the department chair.
(Students can attempt to fulfill the requirement after 90 earned units;
students should complete the requirement before senior year)
