Mechanical Engineering BSME/Engineering MS(Mechanical Engineering)

Notes:

^Graduate courses used to satisfy graduate and undergraduate degree program requirements.

*Life Sciences: Select from BIOL 1103 or BIOL 1104 or BIOL 1107 & 1107L or BIOL 1108 & 1108L.

**Major-Related Elective: Select a course from another discipline or Engineering major. Course must be at the 3000 level or higher except for a language course that is not applied to the General Education core. Co-ops and CURO Research may also count. For complete information on these options, please go to the UGA Bulletin: http://bulletin.uga.edu/

***Graduate students on assistantship (research or teaching) are required to enroll in a minimum of 12 hrs in fall/spring, 9 hrs in summer in order to be eligible to get a tuition waiver (and stipend).

****ENGINEERING GRAD Electives constitute at least 12 credits from UGA courses open to only graduate students exclusive of thesis and project research. The 12 hours may not be satisfied by transfer credit, Master’s research (7000), Masters’ project-based research (7010), or thesis writing (7300).

This is an example of a BSME program of study. Several factors can affect the course scheduling sequence. For a copy of the official curriculum, please go to the UGA Bulletin: http://bulletin.uga.edu/

ENGINEERING ELECTIVES
Students must choose 9 courses (from the list of electives). Five of the electives are used to satisfy the requirements for the BSMCHE degree and the remaining four for the MS Engineering degree with Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering. At least 8 of the elective courses must be graduate-level (indicated by a 6xxx or 8xxx listing). No more than 12 credits may be applied to both the BSMCHE and MS-E degree. The electives courses are grouped into related topic areas to assist a student if they wish to concentrate in one area. Some courses qualify as being grouped into more than one topic area.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that during year four of their curriculum that the student take the 6000-level components of the included 4000/6000-level courses.

SUMMER SESSION BETWEEN YEAR FOUR AND FIVE:
Students are required to enroll in 9 credit hours of ENGR 7000 MS Research during the summer session between Year Four and Five in order to accelerate their research. Total research hours accumulated during the MS typically exceed the minimum required.

REQUIRED EXAMINATIONS:
All students in the BSMCHE program are required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam prior to graduation with their BSMCHE degree.
