Software Engineering Elective Choices

Technical electives allow students to choose areas of interest to explore. Technical electives come in two flavors, technical and non-technical. "Technical" technical electives are those courses offered to CENBD and EE BD majors which are not required for the SE BD major. "Non-technical" technical electives are offered outside your home department and give you some latitude. Students must complete two "technical" technical electives, and one "non-technical" technical elective.

Exceptions to the above policy will be granted to students who successfully complete a minor in one of the approved areas listed in the ECSE Minors page.
