The AOE department requires 15 credits of technical electives. Students are required to take a minimum of 9 credits from one of the approved Tracks. Up to 6 of the 15 credits may be non-AOE technical courses selected either from Tracks or from the list of approved non-AOE technical courses. If a track includes a foundational course, the foundational course is required in that track, but it does not necessarily need to be taken first unless it is a prerequisite. Students must meet all pre-requisites and enrollment requirements for their select courses. Per the Graduate School policy, courses at the 5000 level are only available to seniors with a 3.0 or above overall GPA and the instructor's permission.
The courses in the Foundational Track span the core areas in both Aerospace and Ocean Engineering. Achieving greater depth in analysis and understanding of these materials is very useful in building a strong general background in Aerospace and Ocean Engineering, and the Foundational Track allows students to acquire greater depth across the range of core areas in both aerospace and ocean engineering.

University Policy 91 outlines university-wide minimum criteria to determine if students are making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degrees. The AOE Department fully supports this policy. Specific expectations for satisfactory progress for AE majors are as follows:
Students must pass all required courses and both the in-major and overall GPA must be at least 2.0 for graduation. The in-major GPA consists of all courses taken under the AOE designation. No courses in this program may be taken on a Pass/Fail basis.
ECON 2005 Principles of Economics is required for graduation and may be taken as one of the two Concept 3 requirements in the Pathways. If a student chooses to satisfy the Concept 3 requirements with courses not including ECON 2005 Principles of Economics, ISE 2014 Engineering Economy may also be used to satisfy this requirement but this requires additional credits.
ESM 2114 Statics & Structures is required for graduation. ESM 2104 Statics and ESM 2204 Mechanics of Deformable Bodies may be substituted in place of ESM 2114 Statics & Structures. However, doing so requires that a student take 6 credits instead of the 3 required for ESM 2114 Statics & Structures.
AE primary majors with an OE secondary major may substitute (4065-4066 or 4165-4166) for 4265-4266 and 4105-4106 for 4205-4206 in their secondary OE major (substitutions are not permitted for dual degrees).
Course offerings are subject to change and the availability of sufficient resources.
Students must have had 2 years of a foreign language in high school or one year at the college level (6 credit hours) of the same language. College-level credits used to meet this requirement do not count towards the degree.
