Technical Elective General Information
In conjunction with the EME department, SPE Penn State offers technical electives. These are 1-credit weekend classes that are taught by industry professionals.
All Students majoring in PNGE are required to take 6 technical elective credits. 3 of those credits can come from SPE short courses. Priority registration for technical electives is given to upperclassmen with the highest attendance during SPE meetings. More information about registering for technical electives will be sent out via our email list.
Adding To Our Course Curriculum
We are always looking for additional short courses to help students satisfy technical elective requirements. If you know someone in the industry who teaches a course in a technical discipline and who would be willing to volunteer to teach Penn State Students, please contact our vice president, Kevin Mercurio at kwm5685@psu.edu.
