Degrees:
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Overview:
The MU Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering trains students in two distinct stems of mechanical engineering: thermal systems and mechanical systems. The department instructs students in four major focus areas: design and manufacturing, dynamics and controls, energy systems, and materials.

The department endeavors to present a strong experimental program through laboratory experiences to expose undergraduate students to modern instrumentation and measurement methodologies. Students work in well-equipped laboratories in design optimization, engineering computation, fluid power dynamics and control, materials, structural dynamics, measurement and instrumentation, laser processing, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, stress measurement and nondestructive evaluation.

Academic Information

Admission Requirements:
The Engineering requirements for freshman admission are as follows:

An ACT Math score of at least 22, and
an ACT Composite of at least 24 or a high school class rank in the upper 25 percent.

Freshmen who do not meet the above criteria are admitted initially into the College of Arts and Science Pre-Engineering Program. Although admitted to the College of Arts and Science as freshmen, each Pre-Engineering student receives advising by an engineering advisor.

Pre-Engineering students are eligible to transfer to the College of Engineering on satisfactory completion of 24 credit hours with a 2.0 or higher GPA and a grade of C or better in Math 1500.

Mechanical Engineering also requires that all grades in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering courses be a C- or higher.
Minimum GPA for Admission: 2.0
Specifically required non-major courses for the BS degree:
Chemistry 1320
Math 1500, 1700, 2300
Physics 2750, 2760
