NOTES:
*General Education Elective: Courses may be in communications, mathematics, natural science, humanities, social science, physical education, or other areas that count toward the college's general education requirements. *Advisor Approved Elective: Courses that meet degree-specific requirements, which may include university, college, department requirements, and electives.

This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

The minimum number of credits for the degree is 128, not counting Engl 101, Math 143, and other courses that might be required to remove deficiencies.

Students majoring in mechanical engineering may accumulate no more than three grades of D or F in the mathematics, science or engineering courses used to satisfy lower division requirements. Included in this number are multiple repeats of a single course or single repeats in multiple courses and courses transferred from other institutions. In addition, students must also earn at least five grades better than a C in mathematics, science or engineering courses used to satisfy lower division requirements before registration is permitted in upper-division mechanical engineering courses. The specific lower-division courses are: Chem 111; Engr 210, 220, and 240; Math 170, 175, 275; ME 123, 223, 225; MSE 201; and Phys 211, 212, and 213. In addition, a grade higher than C must be earned in at least five of these courses. A grade of P (pass) in any of these courses is considered as a C grade in satisfying this certification requirement.

Curriculum plans are intended as advising tools only, not a contract between the student and the university, and are subject to verification by the student's academic advisor and/or department chair. The University of Idaho reserves the right to change, amend, or discontinue any articulation agreement or curriculum plan at any time.
