Combined Mechanical Engineering, BSME & Mechanical Engineering, MS

Program Description:

The combined BSME in Mechanical Engineering/MS in Mechanical Engineering program allows students to earn a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Mechanical Engineering in a total of 5 years.  Up to nine (9) semester credit hours of graduate courses at the ME 6000/7000 level may be double-counted and applied to both the BSME and the MS degree requirements. 

Admission Requirements:

1. Completion of at least 75 semester credit hours towards BSME degree.

2. Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4

3. Must be enrolled as a full-time student

To Apply:

Complete the Combined BSME/MS Degree Program application and a graduate program of study.

The program educational objectives for the Mechanical Engineering program are:

Objective 1: Be employed in the engineering profession or pursuing graduate studies

Objective 2: Successfully compete in a globally integrated environment

Objective 3: Be engaged in life-long learning through continuing education and other avenues in a rapidly changing technical environment

BSME Program Learning Outcomes:

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
• an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
• an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
• an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

MSME Program Learning Outcomes:

• Demonstrate an advanced understanding of the basic principles of mechanical engineering,
• Demonstrate engineering competency in one of two concentration areas: design or thermofluids,
• Recognize the need for life‐long learning,
• Demonstrate  their  ability  to  communicate  engineering  ideas  and techniques, and
• Demonstrate a mathematical competency above that of an undergraduate engineering student.
