2. One equivalent Purdue substitution may be used if it is deemed equivalent to the prescribed minor course and acceptable by the home School of the student.

• No more than one substitution from either of the above two categories is acceptable for the Engineering and Public Policy Minor.
• Engineering students interested in the Public Policy Minor are strongly encouraged to consider pursuing an internship with the WISE Program (Washington Internships for Students of Engineering). Go to http://www.wise-intern.org/ for details or google the Program name. Applications for consideration are typically due at the end of December of each year for the upcoming summer.
