1Only one out of ME 433 and ME 343 can be selected towards satisfying the requirements for this concentration area.

2Additional courses selected in consultation with the program adviser may fulfill program requirements. No more than 6 credits can be taken at the 200 and 300 level.

3ME450 (Advanced Topics in Controls) may include: (a) nonlinear systems and control; (b) control of distributed parameter systems; (c) system identification and adaptive control; or, (d) multi-variate robust control.

4During enrollment, priority for 200-level courses are given to ISE undergraduates. ISE 230 is occasionally offered also during summer.
