1Students may choose between a C/C++ (CPT S 121, 122, 223, 360) path or a Java programming (CPT S 131, 132, 233, 370) path. Students should adhere to one path option.
2Engineering Science Elective: Choose from E E 331, 341, ME 301, or MSE 302. (Note: If either E E 331 or E E 341 is taken as an engineering science elective, it cannot also count as a technical elective.)
3Technical electives (9 credits) must be 300-400-level courses and must be chosen with an advisor's approval. Any of the following courses may be chosen to fulfill technical elective requirements: CPT S 317, 322, 327, 350, 355, 411, 422, 430, 437, 440, 442, 443, 451, 452, 455, 460, 466; E E 331, 341, 351, 431, 432, 434, 439, 451, 464, 466, 476, 489, 496; One only of MATH 325, 340, 364, 415, 421, 440, 441, 448, 453, 464, 466.
