Mechanical Electives
The list of approved Mechanical Engineering electives appears below. Students are required to
take three of these courses and at least one must be from List A. In addition to these courses,
any graduate course taught by a member of the Mechanical Engineering faculty will also be
counted as a Mechanical Elective. Students are welcome to petition to have a course approved.
Courses are occasionally added to this list with the most updated version maintained on the
Mechanical Engineering web site.
