Having the approval of the instructor and satisfiying the prerequisites, students may take any of the departmental courses announced below:


NON-TECHNICAL ELECTIVE COURSES

Aerospace Engineering students have to take 2 Non-Technical Elective Course during their undergraduate education. Registration to a Non-Technical Elective Course requires the approval of the course instructor and the related department. For the approval process, a form needs to be signed by the student's advisor. Having the approval of the instructor and satisfying the prerequisites students may take any of the courses announced below:



FREE ELECTIVE COURSES

Aerospace Engineering students have to take 1 Free Elective Course during their undergraduate education. All the courses offered in METU can be considered as a Free Elective Course provided that they are of at least 3 credits. To take the course the approval of the instructor may be needed.
