**Note:
– Up to two PHD ECNG courses (600-level) to be taken for credit towards the above MS/ME degree are allowed

– Subject to the approval of the advisor and the graduate director the candidate is permitted to take six credit hours from the following two options

one 400-level or graduate-level course (3 credit hours) from outside the department and within the School of Sciences and Engineering;
Graduate Independent Study course (ECNG 5910) (1 to 3 credit hours).
However, the student may take a maximum of 3 hours of independent study, and a maximum of one course (3 credit hours) from outside the ECNG department.
