The minimum required leveling courses for students from non-ME degrees are the following:

Any 3 out of the following 4 courses:

  • ENGR 2160 - Materials Science and Engineering and
  • ENGR 2165 - Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory Credits: (4)

or

  • ME 3040 - Dynamic System Modeling   Credits: (3)
  • ME 3050 - Machine Design   Credits: (3)
  • ME 4000  - Heat Transfer   Credits: (3)

Accelerated 4+1 BS/MS Admission

Students in the ¶¶Òô³Ô¹Ï Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program may apply to the accelerated bachelors to masters pathway if they:

  • Have completed at least 90 undergraduate credit hours
  • Have a minimum GPA of 3.0

More information can be found on the Accelerated MSME Degree Pathway page.

TOEFL or IELTS test must be taken within the past two years.

In addition to language proficiency requirement, international applicants must also submit:

  • GRE Scores (except for applicants with an ABET-accredited engineering bachelor's degree or a prior STEM degree with a GPA of 3.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale)
  • 2 letters of recommendation
  • Transcripts that have been evaluated by a ¶¶Òô³Ô¹Ï approved foreign credentials evaluation service. .

A translated transcript is not accepted. Transcripts must be evaluated on a course-by-course format, showing U.S. semester credit and grade equivalent for each course based on a 4.0 GPA scale.
