B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering

The Bachelors of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree in Mechanical Engineering (ME) at the University of Michigan requires students to complete 128 credit hours of courses in various categories, which include: College of Engineering (CoE) core, intellectual breadth, ME program specific courses, and general electives. Each of these categories and their corresponding requirements are described in the Program Requirements section. The College of Engineering (CoE) requires that every engineering student, regardless of their proposed engineering major, complete specific courses in the core subjects of mathematics, engineering, chemistry, and physics. Required CoE Core courses are listed below with the number of credits for each course given in parenthesis: Math 115 – Calculus I (4); Math 116 – Calculus II (4); Math 215 – Calculus III (4); Math 216 – Introduction to Differential Equations (4): Engineering 100 – Introduction to Engineering (4), Engineering 101 – Introduction to Computers and Programming (4); Chemistry 130 (3) with Chemistry 125126 (2), or Chemistry 210 (4) with Chemistry 211 (1); Physics 140 (4) with Physics 141 (1); Physics 240 (4) with Physics 241 (1). Concentrations: Within the undergraduate degree program, the ME department offers three Concentrations: Energy, Manufacturing Systems, and Robotics. These Concentrations are not required, however, they allow interested students to focus their upper level electives in a specific subject area.
