Advising Notes
- Courses in mathematics, the physical sciences, or engineering taken CR/NC are not counted toward fulfillment of degree requirements in mechanical engineering.
- Mechanical engineering majors might consider a math, physics, or business minor.
- Since the mechanical engineering major curriculum is very demanding, many students, especially those not fully prepared in mathematics, chemistry, and/or physics, take 4 1/2 or more years to graduate rather than the traditional 4 years. If needed, students also may go to the Learning Resource Center in Lab School, Room 137 and request tutorial assistance.
- Advising is mandatory in the College of Engineering. Students must see their adviser at least once per academic year.
- The Upper-Division Writing Skills Requirement has to be completed no sooner than the term in which 60 units of coursework are completed or no later than the term in which 90 units are completed. This requirement can be met by passing the university examination or by completing IE 182W with letter grad of C or better.
