MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM
Focus Area Electives
Student should select 10 units of elective courses from one of the clusters corresponding to one focus area below. The requirement of minimum Engineering Science (ES) units of 6.5, and minimum engineering design (ED) units of 3.5 must be satisfied. Deviation from these focus areas must be approved by the student’s advisor and the Mechanical Engineering Program Head.

Notes about choosing electives in focus areas:
- If a student wishes to count ENGR 699 (Independent Study) as an elective, course content and ES/ED units must be approved by both advisor and Mechanical Engineering Program Head.
- Students with Focus Areas of Robotics and Control and Machine Design must take ENGR 446/447 as Controls requirement.
- Students with Focus Area of Thermal-Fluids must take ENGR 410/411 as Controls requirement.
- ENGR 432 and ENGR 830 are offered on an alternative year basis.
- Students may take variable topic courses (ENGR 690) in their respective focus areas as elective courses.
- Student must have an overall GPA greater than 2.5 to take graduate (800 level) courses to satisfy electives.
