 Return to: Schools and Departments
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (B.S. M.E.) is awarded to those who successfully complete the program of studies outlined in the courses offerings section of this catalog.
Four general education electives, one Mechanical Engineering elective, one technical elective, and two mechanical engineering Options are required. The mechanical engineering Options allow the students to specialize in a technical area of mechanical engineering by completing a focus area at the senior level that integrates principles and practices of earlier courses into the application of the engineering system. Students who are on academic probation will not be permitted to enroll in upper level courses offered by the mechanical engineering program (i.e. junior and senior level classes).
All undergraduate courses taken at The Citadel with a subject prefix of MECH will count towards the major GPA.
