Total Credits required for graduation = 130 credits
Specified Electives: This elective requirement must include 3 credits of Foreign Language/Diversity, 6 credits of Humanities/Social Science/Theology, and 12 credits of Mechanical Engineering Electives.
Cooperative Education: GE 481 through GE 483 credits may be used to satisfy the Free Elective requirement. Courses GE 481-483 are graded S/U only.
Free Elective: Students are encouraged to select a course aligned with enhancing their life goals. A public speaking course is recommended for individuals who have not had a formal course in this subject. A speech course should be selected from COMM 140, 145, or 243.
Mechanical Engineering Electives: Twelve (12) credits of mechanical engineering courses are to be selected to provide areas of individual study emphasis. Up to three (3) credits may be substituted for students taking an approved technical concentration outside the College of Engineering. Only three (3) hours of ME 499 course credits may be applied as an ME elective.
