GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. A specialty track consists of at least 21 credit hours, to be achieved through seven 3-credit hour courses or some combination of lecture/lab courses.  The student should work with an IDE advisor during the first semester sophomore year to develop a track and obtain approval.
2. The courses in a track should be selected to give significant exposure in at least two areas of engineering or one area of engineering and one area of science.  Due to the interdisciplinary intent of the IDE degree, normally a track should contain no more than 12 credit hours selected from a single academic department. 
3. Normally 12 of the 21 credit hours must be engineering courses.  The remaining hours may be selected from engineering, science and/or advanced math courses.
4. At least 3 credit hours must be 3xx level.
