Those pursuing the MSME degree who do not have an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering are required pass the following courses as undergraduate deficiencies:

ME 323 - Thermodynamics
ME 331 - Heat Transfer
ME 333 - Fluid Dynamics
ME 354 - Materials Laboratory
ME 355 - Manufacturing Processes
ME 356 - Machine Design
ME 373 & 374 - Systems, Dynamics, Controls
ME 395 - Introduction to Design

The student can request that equivalent courses taken elsewhere be used to satisfy these requirements. This requires a petition that includes enough information (normally the course syllabus) to allow the UW Mechanical Engineering course coordinator to determine equivalency.
