1Appropriate honors courses may be substituted for students enrolled in the honors program.
2The list of “Materials Electives” and “Design Electives” can be found in undergraduate catalog. An upper level technical course given by another Engineering Department can be substituted if pre-approved by your advisor.
3Students who do not receive and “S” in both PLAS.3100 Coop Assessment I and PLAS.4100 Coop Assessment II must complete a “Technical Elective” to satisfy the program credit requirement.
Current UMass Lowell students should use their Advisement Report in SIS. If you need assistance, please contact your advisor.
Restriction on off-campus study:
Be advised that any course taken at another institution must be formally approved prior to enrollment. See the catalog policy for details.Last Updated: 10/13/2017
