About the Program
Interdisciplinary engineering studies (IDES) is for students who want an engineering education but do not plan to practice engineering. The program offers considerable flexibility and permits you to develop an individual plan of study to meet educational goals that require working at the interface between engineering and other disciplines. Established options in the program include pre-medical engineering studies and theater engineering studies. IDES is not an ABET accredited program plan of study.

Summary of Program Requirements
The Summary of Program Requirements for Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies is a comprehensive list of those categories which a student must fulfill in order to earn their degree. Unlike the full Detailed Program Requirements listed below, complete lists of selectives for any given category are not shown. These summaries are intended to be printer-friendly and less expansive in detail.
Detailed Program Requirements

(3) A follow up to core courses
(3) One additional advanced (300+) course
(8-14) Engineering Electives
Other Departmental /Program Course Requirements (41-50 credits)
(3/4) Choose one-sophomore science selective
(3) Statistics selective - counts as either engineering (above) or basic science & math
(3) Most students will need
- one additional 3 credit CS, Engineering, Math or Science course (minimum 44 cr). - Credit Hours: 3.00
Area Electives (22-32 cr)
chosen to satisfy student’s educational objectives.
University Core Requirements
