Semester by Semester Four Year Course Plan

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (2006-07)

The schedule that follows indicates how a diligent student who can devote full time to coursework can satisfy requirements in four academic years.

 

Students without a solid foundation or those who cannot devote full time to academics should plan a slower pace.

 

The following sequence is intended to facilitate registration planning and is subject to change based upon course availability. The sequence may also vary based upon individual considerations. Registration assistance will be provided by academic advisors.
