Program Information

  • Students must earn a minimum overall 2.5 GPA in the Mechanical Engineering major to graduate.
  • Students who have completed 20 credits of Mechanical Engineering major courses must maintain a major GPA of 2.5. If a student’s major GPA drops below 2.5, then the student has one-semester probationary period to raise the major GPA above 2.5. If the major GPA is still below 2.5 after the probationary period, the students can retake Mechanical Engineering courses to raise the major GPA but cannot take any other Mechanical Engineering classes until they are off probation.
  • Students must attempt the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination.
  • Mechanical engineering graduates can apply their skills in a variety of industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing and production, automation, building and construction, agriculture, and biomedical.
