The other professional elective courses may be any courses that meet the student's professional goals. Six credits of ROTC courses may be used to meet this requirement. Premedical students may use the professional electives to complete the medical school requirements of biology and organic chemistry. It is permissible to take these professional electives during the summer and transfer credit to Tulane. Some medical schools require a second English course, and this can be used as one of the humanities and social sciences electives.
Every student participates in a team design project as well as an individual research project.
The team designs are evaluated for safety and then presented and judged in a public design competition. All Engineering students have the option of earning a variety of minors. Specific examples include minors in Mathematics or Business and are described elsewhere in the Undergraduate Catalog. Students who are interested should contact the appropriate department chair in the School of Engineering or the other divisions of the University and work out a program of courses. This should be approved by the department chair and forwarded to the Associate Dean of Engineering.
