With the approval of their adviser and/or the graduate program director, students may select from the following groups of courses to satisfy the needs of their research goals or career objectives. To assist the students in achieving these goals and objectives, courses are grouped below to suggest focus areas, only as a guide to assist in advising and course selection. They are not intended to restrict elective choices among specialization areas as the intent of the program is to help graduate students maintain an integrated approach to their studies. The listing of these courses does not guarantee that they will be offered by the department in a particular year or semester.\n\nIn addition to the courses listed below, students may be allowed to take courses from the following disciplines at UCF, with the approval of the graduate program director, as an elective in their graduate program of study:\n\nOther Engineering programs\nComputer Science\nMathematics\nStatistics\nBusiness Administration or Management\n</div></div></li></ul></div><div><section><div><header><div><h2>Focus Areas</h2></div><div><span>12</span><span>Total
