The mechanical engineering curriculum provides an opportunity for the student to develop proficiency in a technical specialty within the broad field of mechanical engineering.
This is accomplished by means of a minimum of 12 credits of electives emphasizing mechanical design, energy systems, manufacturing processes, materials engineering, or biomedical engineering or by selecting courses from a wide variety of approved electives.
The BSIE is a 127 credit program that covers a variety of state-of-the-art topics and technologies including: methods engineering, work measurement, quality control, engineering economy, facilities planning and design, manufacturing engineering, human factors engineering, operations research, simulation, production and inventory control and manufacturing engineering.
One of the advantages of the current ME Curriculum, is that Honors College, ME Students who have previously committed to a pre-med program can take the usually needed medical school preparation courses in biology & chemistry and have them credit towards the ME/Tech electives of their ME program.
Courses permitted in this category are:
R120 101; general Biology (4 cr)
Chem 243; organic Chemistry I, (3 cr)
R120 102; general Biology, (4 cr)
Chem 244, organic Chemistry II, (3 cr)
The individual student is responsible for verifying which courses are required by a particular medical school and if they have the prerequisites for the listed courses.
