Complementary & HSS Electives
"Complementary" elective courses aim at providing the student a method, technique and/or skill that complements to Industrial Engineering courses. Special care must be taken for the course to be selected as "Complementary" so that its content does not coincide with an IE course. (New courses other than stated below are evaluated accordingly).
"Humanities & Social Sciences" elective courses aim at enriching the student's global perspective and intellectual level. The main characteristic of HSS courses is that they do not directly teach a method, technique and/or skill. (For example, a German language teaching course cannot be counted as an HSS course, but a German literature course can).
"Unrestricted" elective courses aim at providing the student a broad flexibility for his/her individual development either technically or culturally. An "Unrestricted" elective course can be, disregarding some rare exceptions, any course with 3-credit and letter grade in the University. Exceptions are about;
a. Foreign language courses: Foreign language course with a 1xx or 2xx code (e.g. SPA 102, GER 201 etc.),
b. Courses with significant content overlap with a required course: A course which obviously coincides with a required course (For example, "Operations Research" and "Statistics" courses offered by the Department of Management). Further examples include AD 150, 351, 353, and 503.
These courses described in (a) and (b) cannot be accepted as "Unrestricted”
According to the education regulations of the Faculty of Engineering, none of the courses from the School of Applied Disciplines (International Trade, Management Information Systems, Tourism Administration) are accepted in the categories described above. Students can only take courses from these three departments as non-credit courses.
Notes:
1- For a course to be counted as elective, it must be taken with credit and on a letter grade basis.
2- When two or more courses below are listed with parenthesis - like Course xxx (or Course yyy) - only one of these courses can be counted as elective.
3- Regardless of the code, if a course solely teaches language, it cannot be taken either as an "HSS (Humanities and Social Sciences)" or “free elective (unrestricted)“ course. On the other hand, if it teaches literature and so on, it may be taken as an HSS or free elective with the consent of the advisor.
