| Elective Subjects with Engineering Content (1) | 72 | |
| Departmental Program Units That Also Satisfy the GIRs | (36) | |
| Unrestricted Electives | 48 | |
| Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree | 186 | |
| No subject can be counted both as part of the 17-subject GIRs and as part of the 186 units required beyond the GIRs. Every subject in the student's departmental program will count toward one or the other, but not both. | ||
| Notes | ||
| * Alternate prerequisites and corequisites are listed in the subject description. | ||
| (1) These electives define a concentrated area of study and must be chosen with the written approval of the ME Undergraduate Office. A minimum of 66 units of engineering topics must be included in the 72 units of concentration electives. Engineering topics are usually obtained from engineering courses, but in some cases, non-engineering subjects may be necessary for the particular engineering program defined by the concentration (e.g., management subjects for an engineering management concentration). In all cases, the relationship of concentration subjects to the theme of the concentration must be obvious. A thesis (2.ThU) of up to 12 units may be included among the concentration subjects if not already applied to the second-level requirement. | ||
