Support Area Electives
The list of Support Area Electives below is divided into three categories: Communication, Mathematics and Basic Science, and Engineering Support. These courses are not directly related to Materials Engineering, but will help you improve you written or oral communication skills (e.g., Speech Writing and Analysis) or provide greater depth to topics touched on in MSE courses (e.g., Statistics). Up to 6 credit hours of your Technical Elective Program may be satisfied using Support Area Electives.
