The Ethics elective is a "verify" requirement. This means that you can double count it as an Interdisciplinary Perspective or Humanities GEP course, depending on which course you choose. 

Humanities GEP courses MUST be from two different disciplines. For example, you cannot take two philosophy courses and have them both count towards the 6 credit hours of Humanities requirement. 

HES courses are the only courses that can be taken as S/U and still count towards your degree. You must manually update the grading basis in Enrollment Wizard before the census date. 

When in doubt about an elective, check your degree audit and email Ms. Stone! Other departments add/drop courses that can count as engineering and technical electives more often than our curriculum can keep up with. 

On occasion, the system will put an elective in the wrong category in your degree audit - always double-check! For example, if you take an engineering elective (a more restricted list) before a technical elective (a broader list), it may put the course as a technical elective in your degree audit. This means you have a more limited list of elective options to take later.
