Mechanical Engineering Majors

Students majoring in Mechanical Engineering must complete the University Core (38 credit hours for BS) and the following lower division prerequisite courses. Courses which satisfy the University Core are noted with an asterisk (8 hours of core courses are required within the major). A minimum grade of “C” is required in all prerequisite courses. A minimum cumulative 2.50 GPA is required to begin upper division courses. Students are required to meet with a Mechanical Engineering academic advisor at least once per semester.
