Mechanical Engineering, BSME

Engineers provide products and services that serve the needs of humanity. Engineers see problems and challenges as opportunities in disguise. Engineering graduates are highly sought after for their critical thinking, communication and team skills and are thus well compensated. Engineering degrees prepare students for the broadest number of outcomes. In addition to a growing variety of engineering jobs, engineering students use their training as doctors, lawyers, teachers, professors, missionaries, military officers, business entrepreneurs and salespeople. Through the College of Engineering at California Baptist University the Mechanical Engineering degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Traditional Degree Program Requirements (124-128 units)

General Education

The general education requirements will follow the curriculum set forth for other university programs. Some general education requirements will be met through specific mechanical engineering requirements. Approximately eighteen (18) units of general education are not met in the specific core and mechanical engineering requirements.

Math and Science Unit Requirements

^† A minimum of thirty two (32) units of Math or Science coursework is required for the degree. Courses in the degree designated with a ‘^†’ meet this requirement.

Lower Division Core Engineering Requirements (15 units)

* Junior/Senior transfer students will complete EGR 301 , EGR 303 , and EGR 392 . All other students will complete EGR 101 , EGR 103 , and EGR 192 .

** Successful completion of EGR 202 is required for entrance into the Engineering degree program.
