will have to ask their home Department if they will accept this course as a technical elective (quite a few departments do already), an independent study, or as the first course in a capstone design course sequence. Graduate curricula are generally flexible,
and this course number is high enough, so that this course will most certainly count toward your graduate degree. </span></p>
