Curriculum Notes
*Only offered in the semester shown
2A total of 9 credit hours of technical electives is required, from engineering, mathematics or sciences. Three TE credits may be lower division (1000-, 2000-level); remaining TE credits must be upper division (3000+). Three TE credits must be in the earth sciences, either lower or upper division. An independent study or senior thesis may be completed as technical electives for up to 6 credits.
3A total of 15 credit hours of humanities and social sciences (H&SS) electives is required. At least six hours must be at the upper division level.
