Number of TEs Required

• A total of 9 TEs are required
• A minimum of 7 TEs must be from the Mechanical
  Engineering TE course list
• (ME TEs)
• Biomechanics and Mechatronics Option students
  must take at least 6 ME TEs

13
Mechanical Engineering TEs

• A wide variety of TE courses are available in
  the general areas of

• Automation and Control
• Fluid Mechanics
• Machine Design and Solid Mechanics
• Materials Engineering and Processing
• Thermal Engineering
• Designated Faculty Options or
• Welding Joining Specialization (Mech. Eng. Only)

14
Be Careful !

• Some courses are not TEs although they may
  appear to be TEs. For example, ME 401, MSCI 441
  and GENE 412, GENE 452 are CSEs not TEs
• It is YOUR responsibility to make sure you
  satisfy all degree requirements i.e., do you
  have the correct number of TEs CSEs, transfer
  conditions, have you cleared failed courses by
  supplemental exams or retaking, etc. (note
  special 1A failed course rules)
• If you are not sure? Ask Lynn Crema!
