A technical elective is generally a course in math, engineering, or science at the 3000-level or above. These classes are select 3000, 4000 and 5000-level math, science and engineering courses (with the exception of CSCI, ECEN, and PHYS where certain 2000-level courses are also accepted).

Any ASEN course at the 4000 level or above that is not a required course can be used as a Technical Elective.

Independent study is acceptable for up to 6 credit hours of technical elective credit.

Exclusions

  • A class can be applied toward one requirement in your major only. For example, if a class is approved as both a Humanities & Social Sciences elective and a Technical Elective, it can only count toward one requirement, not both.

Approved Technical Electives

All courses below are approved as professional area electives for Aerospace Engineering Sciences majors. Where course options are listed as "3000+", all courses within that prefix, including 3000 and higher, are approved as general technical electives. Please note that courses numbered 5000 or higher are considered graduate-level courses, but can also apply. Additionally, students are required to meet all pre-requisites or co-requisites for course enrollment.
