The current program requires 6 technical electives as follows:

• A minimum of 12 credit hours (4 courses) from the IE department including 3 credit hours of IE 441, IE 435, or IE 436.
• Two other technical electives (TEs) may be drawn from 400 level electives in the ISE department, some 300/400/500-level courses offered by other engineering departments, or approved departments in the College of Arts and Sciences or in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (see the ISE undergraduate director for details on departments meeting this criterion).

Note that electives which substantively duplicate coursework required for the IE degree, or other electives taken, can NOT be applied to the degree. (For instance, this generally precludes using EAS 308 or similar courses for a TE). Selected courses from other departments may also be applied with approval of the ISE undergraduate director (see the UB catalog for details).

In addition to the mathematics, science, and engineering science courses listed above, students must comply with university and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences requirements regarding General Education. Check with the Engineering School, 410 Bonner Hall, for details.
