The Mechanical Engineering Department and the Physics Department offer a curriculum that enables a student to obtain both a B.S.M. degree and a B.S. degree with a major in physics.

In addition to the University-wide requirements, which include the completion of a minimum of 120 academic credit hours for any degree, the credit hour requirements within this curriculum are distributed as follows:

Requirements for the Major

Mathematics and Science (58 Credit Hours)

Engineering (48 Credit Hours)

One course from the following:

Advanced Major Electives (3 Credit Hours)

ME course, 3000 level or higher, from the thermofluids; dynamics and controls; and solid mechanics, materials, and manufacturing tracks in the B.S. in mechanical engineering degree plan   

Total: 109 Credit Hours

Note: The B.S. in physics requires CSE 1341  or CSE 1342 .

Any deviation from the mechanical engineering and/or physics curricula requires approval of a petition submitted by the student to the appropriate faculty prior to the beginning of the term during which the student expects to complete the requirements for graduation.
