At my school, if there is enough interest and you can properly related it to your major, you can work with a professor to form a guided study course. A couple of my friends created "Race-car Vehicle Dymanics" to help them develop a Formula SAE (kind of like a mini Formula One race sponsored by SAE) car for their senior project.
