    CEN 4044A Trans Planning & System Analysis

CE electives (may not be used for Depth Electives) 
    CEN 4050A Const. Planning & Mgmt 
  
Technical Electives:
A minimum of four credit hours, at the advanced level, in a technical area that supports/or expands the student's interest in engineering.  The choice of course must be approved by the student's advisor.

    Examples of Technical Elective
        CEN 4050A Construction Planning & Management 
        MTH 4623 Applied Analysis (leads to Math Minor)

Student must register for and take the Fundamentals of Engineering, examination, administered by the National Council of Engineering Examiners, in order to graduate.  Limited course substitutions are permitted students having sound educational plans which, in the judgment of the department, justify the substitutions.
