NON-TECHNICAL& FREE ELECTIVE COURSES, (2 NTE courses during
5thand 6th semesters, and 1 FE during 8th)
Non-Technical Elective courses existing in all 13
engineering curricula are intended to serve in meeting the following
objectives of the education of engineering students and the
engineering profession:
-
To be aware of their humanistic, social, and
environmental responsibilities,
-
To be able to consider these factors in their
professional decision-making processes,
-
To be exposed to a broad spectrum of
disciplines other than science and engineering, and
-
To be able to establish a sound communication
with professionals other than engineers.
The courses taught in the Middle East Technical
University that are considered to be in this category are listed
according to the departments offering them. Note that these lists do
not necessarily imply that departments involved are obliged to offer
the courses appearing in these lists to engineering students; rather
that they are the lists of courses which may be used to satisfy
non-technical elective requirements when taken by engineering
students.The list of the courses thas been accepted by engineering
faculty as NTE courses can be found in the following address:
