The following tables present an outline of the sequence of
courses that are required to fulfill the requirements for a Bachelor of
Science in Mechanical Engineering. The following information is suited
more towards an incoming freshman; more information for transfer
students can be found here.
Students are encouraged to meet with faculty advisors to work out a
graduation plan.
The courses and year/semester indicated here are to
give you an idea of the scope of the program and students may take
courses in slightly different times, depending on their aptitude and the
course offerings for that semester.
