MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SPECIALTIES
Students majoring in Mechanical Engineering may select a specialty consisting of 20 credit hours of courses focused in a particular area.
Specialties may include both required and elective courses. First Six Semesters are common to all Mechanical Engineering Students. SR I
through SR III representative programs are given for each specialty.
A Mechanical Engineering specialty provides students a depth of study in preparation for a career within an industrial sector and/or as a
foundation for graduate study. However, the student’s degree is Mechanical Engineering and the selected specialty does not prevent students
from working within any industry. The primary advantage is to provide a “jump start” over mechanical engineering graduates from other
schools with traditional degree programs. Courses subject to cancellation due to low enrollment.
