Engineering Sciences technical electives [ENGR SCI tech elect] may be chosen, also depending on students' interests, from among the following programs:  Aerospace Engineering, Biological Resources Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Nuclear Engineering. A course can be used to satisfy biological science electives, and advanced studies for CORE, if approved by your advisor.  Following are examples of these courses:  GEOG 345, GEOG 446, GEOG 467, HLTH 471D, PSYC 341, PSYC 356, GEOG 434, GEOG 462, HLTH 456, PSYC 310, PSYC 355, PSYC 357. Pre-medical students should select as biological science technical electives:  CHEM 243 and BSCI 422.  They should also take CHEM 103 and CHEM 113 instead of CHEM 135 and CHEM 136.  In addition, most medical schools require 8 credits of physics including two labs.  Contact premed advisor (301-405-2793) for more information. Pre-veterinary students should select as biological science technical electives: CHEM 243 and BCHM 261 or BCHM 461.  Some veterinary schools may require additional chemistry.  Check with your advisor.   December 14, 2004 Department of Biological Resources Engineering Home Page
