Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering

B.S. Mechanical Engineering Course Timeline
This flow chart is a recommended sequence for students to follow, but it is not a one-size fits all plan for all students. Students that have AP/IB credits, dual-enrollment/transfer credits will see the above plan shift as those courses are removed from their plan. The above plan also does not take into account summers which is when a lot of students take their core courses.
