Math, Science, & Technical Electives
Approved Technical Electives
A technical elective is generally a course in math, engineering, or science at the 3000-level or above. These classes are select 3000, 4000 and 5000-level math, science and engineering courses (with the exception of CSCI, ECEN, and PHYS where certain 2000-level courses are also accepted).
Any ASEN course at the 4000 level or above that is not a required course can be used as a Technical Elective.
Independent study is acceptable for up to 6 credit hours of technical elective credit.
All courses below are approved as professional area electives for Aerospace Engineering Sciences majors. Where course options are listed as "3000+", all courses within that prefix, including 3000 and higher, are approved as general technical electives. Please note that courses numbered 5000 or higher are considered graduate-level courses, but can also apply. Additionally, students are required to meet all pre-requisites or co-requisites for course enrollment.
Exclusions: A class can be applied toward one requirement in your major only. For example, if a class is approved as both a Humanities & Social Sciences elective and a Technical Elective, it can only count toward one requirement, not both.
