Technical Engineering Selectives
Technical Engineering selectives are courses approved by the BME curriculum committee which allow a student to gain a deeper understanding of engineering principles and concepts. Technical Engineering selectives are mainly courses in the various engineering disciplines including BME and other core STEM areas such as Computer Science, Statistics, and Mathematics. It is recommended that students complete technical engineering selectives that correspond with their depth area, but it is not required.
If you would like to request that a course not on the list be considered for one-time approval as a Technical elective, please contact your academic advisor. Approval requests submitted after the second week of classes will not be considered. The deadline for Spring 2024 approval requests is January 19, 2024.
Technical Engineering Selective Policy
A total of 15 credit hours must be completed with the following requirements/restrictions:
- Students must complete at least one 3-credit hour 400-level BME technical engineering selective (BME 4####). BME 49800 research does not fulfill the 400-level BME tech elective requirement.
- The 400-level BME technical engineering selective must be successfully completed with a grade of B or above before any 500-level BME technical selective (BME 5####) can be taken.
- Students must complete one 3-credit hour Quantitative Breadth (QB) course and one 3-credit hour Data Science-focused QB course (QB-DS).
- A maximum of six credit hours may be taken at the 200- & 300-level.
- Only one Regulatory technical engineering selective can count toward the technical engineering selective requirement. Students are not required to complete a Regulatory technical engineering selective.
-
3 credits of technical engineering selectives may be satisfied with any of the
following approved mentored experiential learning options (must complete all in
the same category):
- 3 credits of EPICS or VIP (200-level or higher)
- 3 credits of BME 49800 research for technical engineering selective credit (with appropriate documentation)
- Students enrolling in a BME course cross-listed with another department should register for the BME section of the course.
