Some examples of possible course selections for 10-eng students
- The class lists are not in any implied chronological order.
- These examples use only the suggested courses from the concentration lists, but students may also propose any combination of these and/or other engineering courses at MIT that fit the concentration topic to total 4 subjects.
- Examples below do not use any graduate level subject alternatives.
- None of these examples requested permission to go beyond the 45-unit limit for foundational concepts.
