Requirements for Math and Science Elective
Approved courses include almost any 200 level or above course having 3 or more credits in biology, physics, biochemistry, chemistry, or math. Approved courses include BIOL 205, BIOL 214, BIOL 215, CHEM 223 , CHEM 224 , PHYS 221 , and BIOC 307, BIOC 308, and BIOL/EBME 300. Students can consult with their advisor to use another course not on this list. Understand that one cannot double count by applying this course toward another graduation requirement such as a technical elective in a BME sequence. Please be advised that BIOL 216 , PHYS 204 , PHYS 208 , and PHYS 250 will probably not be approved because of overlap with the BME curriculum.


NOTES

To get the informational content of a minor in Systems Engineering, take EECS 346 as a technical elective, or EECS 352 as an open elective.

EECS 352 and EBME 380 are recommended for students interested in immediate entry into the job market.

1. EECS 233 is offered both fall and spring semesters. There is a time conflict with EBME 202 in the spring semester.

2. STAT 312 (spring/fall) or STAT 333 (spring) can be taken in place of STAT 332.

3. If accepted by the course coordinator, a semester coop project can be used as a senior project.

4. EBME 324 is strongly recommended for persons who have not taken EECS 281 or equivalent.
