Every student entering the mechanical engineering program is assigned a faculty advisor to guarantee an appropriate plan of study and to insure continuity throughout the program. Each student completes university general education courses and mechanical engineering program requirements. A student who pursues a double major should regularly consult with a faculty member from each of the two major programs.

Students entering the mechanical engineering program should have adequate credentials in algebra and trigonometry or higher to enter the calculus sequence. Students not entering at the calculus level will not be eligible to register for mechanical engineering courses until meeting the mathematics requirement. This may result in a delay in graduation.
