Program Options

The ISE Department currently offers five options within the undergraduate program.  The purpose of these options is to allow students to deepen their expertise in one of these engineering-related fields.  Program options are indicated on the academic transcript.  If you are interested in declaring an option, you can register in the ISE department office.  While the department will track progress towards an option, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the option requirements are fulfilled.  The following is necessary to fulfill the requirements of an option:

 

·         Perform at least 20 weeks of co-op experience in the option area

·         Complete courses in an option area using either professional electives (PE) or free electives (see list of approved courses within each option below).
