  • Engineering students follow a modified General Education requirement that includes a Basic Communication course (ENG170 Writing and Rhetoric or ENG206 Advanced Writing and Rhetoric1 or equivalent), plus one course from each of the following six GE categories:
  1. United States Studies
  2. World Civilizations & Cultures
  3. Western Civilization
  4. Humanities
  5. Social Sciences
  6. The Arts
  • Degree requirements include completion of a designated Diversity course.
  • A minimum of 125 credits is required to complete the Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Students may not enroll in any engineering course unless all prerequisites have been met with a grade of C- or better.
  • Students are required to earn a grade of C- or better in any Math/Science Foundation, Core Engineering, or Core Mechanical Engineering course and a grade of D- or better in any Advanced Mechanical Engineering course used to satisfy Mechanical Engineering major requirements.

Seniors must register for EGG408 Senior Design Project I and EGG409 Sr Design Project 2 during each of the last two semesters preceding their graduation. A single project under the direction of a single faculty member will be spread over the two semesters. This project should provide a meaningful engineering design experience and should draw on the student's cumulative technical background.

3

Professional electives must be chosen from the Division of Engineering Programs' list of approved courses or from its upper-division (300- or 400-level) course offerings. Students must meet all necessary prerequisite coursework and obtain their advisor's approval prior to taking any Professional Elective.
