Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering (Vancouver Only) (121 Credits)
Students who have completed at least 30 semester hours of course work and who have completed CHEM 105; MATH 220, 273; MECH 211, 212, 215; and PHYSICS 201 or their equivalents are eligible for certification into the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering program. All courses required for certification must be completed with a grade of C or better. Enrollment in many upper-division mechanical engineering courses is restricted to certified majors or minors in mechanical engineering.
When it becomes necessary to limit enrollment, the overall GPA as well as the GPA for the prerequisite courses listed will be important factors. Students who have not completed all of the prerequisite courses will be placed in a pre-engineering major.
No courses listed in this schedule of studies may be taken on a pass/fail basis. All upper-division mechanical engineering courses must be completed with a minimum 2.0 average GPA.

Footnotes
| 1 | The program emphasizes fundamentals and provides flexibility in selecting a course of study through five technical electives. Students can either take any five elective courses, provided they meet the prerequisites, or they can choose to take a set of related electives comprising an option area and additional electives of their choice. Students are required to work with their faculty advisor to develop their schedule of studies as they are admitted to the program at the junior level. The following are the technical elective courses and option areas: (Option 1) Micro and Nanotechnology: MECH 431, 438, 450; (Option 2) Design and Manufacturing: MECH 476, 485, 489; (Option 3) Mechatronics: MECH 405, 467, 468.; (Option 4) Renewable Energy: MECH 441, ECE 421, choice of two courses from MECH 405, 468, 431, and 450. |
