UndergraduateDegree:
B.S.Description:
The Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) is designed to teach and train a student to be a mechanical engineer. All engineering students begin with a two year common curriculum where the students learn the fundamentals and take courses from each of the three engineering disciplines represented at the university of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering. After the initial two years, the students work on more advanced work in mechanical engineering and continue to work on integrated engineering projects and designs.
Specializations
Although a specialization is not required for the BSME, a student desiring to achieve some depth in a special area may do so by taking several Technical Electives in the same area. Current available specializations include:
• Materials
• Robotics
• Environmental Systems - Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• Environmental Chemistry
• General Environmental Systems

Other Requirements:
AHSS 1000 AHUM 1000 and SOCS 1000. These may be taken in any order. There must, however, be two of each of them.
CORE 2XXX Thematic Core. Engineering students are required to take only two Thematic Core courses, but the two must be from different themes where CORE 24XX are the Communities and Environments theme, CORE 25XX are the Self and Identities theme and CORE 26XX are the Change and Continuity theme.
OOOO Open Elective. The Open Elective may be any course offered in which the student has an interest and which is at the 1000 level or above.
XXXX Technical Elective. Technical Electives are used to complete specializations for the degree. Only technical courses may be used, and these must carry Upper-Division credit. Prior approval by the advisor is required.
