12. Minors and ASIs • Minors • You can get a minor in any other dept outside Engineering • Also McBride, Bioengineering & Life Sciences (BELS), Energy, and Humanitarian Engineering • Takes 18 hours of courses – see bulletin for details on which courses count • ASI (area of special interest) • Similar to minor, but takes only 12 hours • You can get an ASI in another specialty in EG • Notes • You have to declare minor or ASI with the registrar • You can use your free electives towards requirements • Can count courses you need to take anyway (but only 3 hrs in EG)

13. (Mostly Old) News • EGGN 386 (Engineering Electromagnetics) • Going to offer in spring semesters only • If you need it to graduate in fall, see your advisor • PEGN 450 (Energy Engineering) • We are dropping this course as an electrical elective • Petroleum Engineering is no longer offering • CSCI 101 (Computer Science 101) • New Distributed Science Core Course you can choose • For Distributed Science Core you must take Physics 200, plus your choise of two from the current list
