Determination of which clinic projects count towards the CUGS in Materials Engineering is up to the discretion of the CUGS program advisor. Approval is granted based on an individual basis, following consultation with the clinic project manager. Clinic projects that involve components related to the discovery, design, or characterization of materials, with an emphasis on solids, will qualify for CUGS credit.

The two electives for the CUGS are chosen from an approved list. Available electives depend on the semester offering with Engineering and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Approval is up to the discretion of the CUGS program advisor and is determined based on the relevance of the course content. The following us a list of possible courses for the chemical engineering, chemistry, or out of discipline elective.
