Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.)
This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012—telephone: (410) 347-7700.
Note: Pre-advising is required to register in any ME course.
To advance to upper-division courses, a student majoring in mechanical engineering must earn certification: the student may accumulate no more than three grades of D or F in the mathematics, science or engineering courses used to satisfy certification requirements. Included in this number are multiple repeats of a single course or single repeats in multiple courses and courses transferred from other institutions.
In addition, students must also earn at least five grades of 'B' or better in these mathematics, science or engineering courses: Chem 111, Engr 210, Engr 220, Engr 240, Math 170, Math 175, Math 275, Math 310, Math 330, ME 123, ME 223, ME 301, MSE 201, Phys 211, and Phys 212. A grade of P (pass) in any of these courses is considered as a C grade in satisfying this certification requirement.
To graduate in this program, a student cannot accumulate no more than five grades of D or F in the mathematics, science, or engineering courses used to satisfy graduation requirements. Included in this number are multiple repeats of a single course or single repeats in multiple courses and courses transferred from other institutions.
Required course work includes the university requirements (see regulation J-3), completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination and:
