Degree requirements »
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) degree consists of 180 credits. BSME students complete distribution requirements and engineering fundamentals outside the department, in addition to core mechanical engineering courses and mechanical engineering option courses. These requirements can be satisfied a number of ways, and the sample schedules detail two examples.
Degree options »
The mechanical engineering option courses can either be individual electives or part of a formal degree option. The three available options are Biomechanics, Mechatronics, and Nanoscience and Molecular Engineering. These degree options have separate admissions processes from the ME major.
Senior design projects »
All BSME students complete a senior design project. Students can select a project topic based on their interests. These projects range from competition-based projects like EcoCAR to industry-sponsored projects such as Engineering Innovation in Health.
Graduation procedures »
Students should apply for graduation two quarters before they wish to graduate. This allows you to register with Graduating Senior Priority during your final two quarters of classes.
