ECET Technical Electives
ECET Technical electives are 300 and 400 level courses offered by the ECET program that are not previously required courses within the program. All ECET students are required to take at least two of these courses for their degree. ECET elective courses taken in addition to the two required can fill any of the elective requirements. Note: ECET 329 is not considered an ECET Technical Elective course as it is only for non-ECET majors and cannot be used towards the ECET degree.

Technical Electives
Technical electives can be satisfied only by courses with a technical subject matter; this excludes Humanities, History, Economics, Social Sciences, Literature, and any other non-technical subject. In general, the following subjects qualify as Technical Electives: ARCH, BIO, BIOL, BME, CE, CET, CHEM, CPT, CS, ECE, EM, ENGR, IE, IS, IT, MATH, ME, MECH, MET, MIS, MNET, OPSE, PHYS, and SET. Except CPT 310 or MATH 305 Statistics for Technology or MATH 309 Mathematical Analysis for Technology or MATH 322 Differential Equations for Applications or CHEM 301 Chemical Technology or MNET 315 Industrial Statistics or MNET 414 Industrial Cost Analysis. Additionally, any course required for the ECET degree cannot be used as a technical elective, in the case where a class has been substituted in place of a required course, the originally required course cannot be used as an elective.
Free Electives
Free electives may be satisfied by any course offered at the university. The ECET program contains two free electives, one 3 credit course, 200 or higher level and one 3 credit course, 300 or higher level.
Co-op Work Experience (Internship)
Co-op Work Experience is not required as part of the ECET program, although it is highly recommended. Students can participate in a sixteen-week paid internship at a variety of local companies. Students who pass Co-op can use the credit to fulfill any of the six non-ECET required electives.
To apply for Co-op students must first visit the Career Development Services office at NJIT and fill out a Co-op application. The application will be sent to your academic advisor for approval and you will be notified of the decision.
Co-op Classes
The ECET Co-op classes are ECET 395 Co-op Work Experience I and ECET 495 Co-op Work Experience II.
This curriculum represents the maximum number of credits per semester for which a student is advised to register. A full-time credit load is 12 credits. First-year students are placed in a curriculum that positions them for success which may result in additional time needed to complete curriculum requirements. Continuing students should consult with their academic advisor to determine the appropriate credit load.
