1. Departmental courses may be used for technical electives, but technical courses outside the department may not be used as departmental electives. The department publishes annually a list of acceptable technical electives in the undergraduate handbook.
2. At least one of the following capstone design courses is required:
14:180:407 Construction Projects (4)
14:180:426 Structural Design (4)
14:180:431 Design of Environmental Engineering Facilities (4)
