Undergraduate Areas of Specialization


 

 

 


Undergraduate Areas of Specialization
Our students, alumni and the employers of our students have a great influence on our curriculum. Recently this was demonstrated by their desire to create areas of specialization that are critical to today's graduating engineers. In addressing our constituencies, we have established four exciting areas of specialization:

  1. Nanomaterials
  2. Photonics and Optical Materials
  3. Engineering Management
  4. General Studies in CME
With the creation of these areas of specialization, a greater degree of freedom is now available for students in their junior and senior years. During these four semesters, six potential electives are available for a student to concentrate his or her studies in a particular area. Electives have been spaced to allow a student to select either.

An area of specialization is defined by a student selecting a minimum of four courses from a list of electives in an area of concentration. Students who complete the sequence of four courses will be awarded a Certificate and have this noted on their transcripts. Selection of an area of specialization should be made after meeting with your Academic Advisor at the end of the spring semester of the sophomore year. The specific sequence of electives required for an area of specialization is found below.
