25other option IE 343

26options include EDCI 421, 424, 425, 426, and 428 (NOTE SPECIFIC COURSES RELATED TO CONCENTRATION)

Additional Requirements

A course listed on the Concentration Guideline is not a guarantee that the course will be accessible/made available to a student.  Lack of availability could be due to any number of circumstances beyond the control of either student or program or university. 

Engineering credits: A minimum 45 credits at 200+ level, of which at least 18 credits are at 300+ level and 6 credits of the 18 must be at 400+ level. Maximum number of credits in any engineering discipline is 24.   It is the student’s responsibility to see that all prerequisites are met for selected courses.

30 credits must be Math and Basic Science (MA, BIOL, CHM, PHYS, EAPS, SLHS are some examples)

32 credits at 300+ level (any courses) must be taken at Purdue West Lafayette.

3 credits of “hands-on” (not computer lab) required.  2 credits must be engineering (See footnote 7).  The third credit may be engineering on non-engineering. A non-engineering lab credit would be included in an AREA class.  Some examples are BIOL, CHM, or PHYS lab classes or THTR and AD classes that include a studio component. Consult academic advisor for details.
