Additional Course Guidelines
- M E Technical Elective (METE) is any three-credit, 400-levelmechanical engineering course, not required for both majors. M E 494 or M E 496may not be used.
- Related Elective is any Option (Biochemical, Device and Imaging, Biomechanical, Biomaterial) Elective, any BME 400 level or BIOE 500 level course not otherwise required (may not double count), CHEM 210, CHEM 212, ENGR295, ENGR 395, ENGR 495 (3 credits max for ENGR x95), and courses for anapproved minor (E L D, ESHIP, ENTI, NANO)
- BME Related and ME Engineering Technical (ET) Elective: BME 400 level or BIOE 500 level course NOT required for both majors. Other biomedical related engineering courses may be used by petition.
- + Course satisfies General Education and degree requirement
University Requirements and General Education Notes
- US and IL are abbreviations used to designate courses that satisfy University Requirements (United States and International Cultures).
- W, M, X, and Y are the suffixes at the end of a course number used to designate courses that satisfy University Writing Across the Curriculum requirement.
- GWS,GQ, GHW, GN, GA, GH, and GS are abbreviations used to identify General Education program courses. General Education includes Foundations (GWS and GQ) and Knowledge Domains (GHW, GN, GA, GH, GS, and Integrative Studies). Foundations courses (GWS and GQ) require a grade of ‘C’ or better.
- Integrative Studies courses are required for the General Education program. N is the suffix at the end of a course number used to designate an Inter-Domain course and Z is the suffix at the end of a course number used to designate a Linked course.
- All incoming Schreyer Honors College first-year students at University Park will take ENGL/CAS 137 in the fall semester and ENGL/CAS 138 in the spring semester. These courses carry the GWS designation and replace both ENGL30 and CAS 100. Each course is 3 credits.
