* While all courses listed must be taken to qualify for the specific degree, schedule rearrangements are certainly possible. The primary consideration is successful completion of prerequisites. For example, PHYS 1062/1065 may be taken in the freshman rather than the sophomore year, provided all prerequisites are met. Also, see the Course Numbering System page on the College of Engineering web site for additional information.

1 To graduate with a degree in Engineering, the student must satisfy the General Degree Requirements of the University (this page found on the College of Engineering web site.)

2 Students who are strong in math may take the two-semester sequence of MATH 2111 (5 cr) and 2112 (5cr) in place of the three-semester sequence of MATH 2107 (3 cr), 2108 (3 cr), and 2109 (4cr) .

3 A grade C or better is required for all math, physics, and chemistry courses.

NOTE: The mechanicall engineering curriculum is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
