________________________________________________
* Quantitative Electives describe the majority of traditional graduate courses in each engineering discipline--subjects such as thermodynamics, elasticity, heat transfer, structures, waste water, power systems, CMOS, etc. They have a focus on analysis to understand the behavior of a physical system. Six credits are required to add some technical depth to your graduate experience. Typically students choose courses in their field because this is where they have the necessary background and interest. It is your responsibility to make sure you meet the prerequisites for these courses. If you have questions you should talk to the professor or hosting department.
