Acceptance into
the Professional Program in Mechanical Engineering
Certain criteria have to be met
before a student may apply for the Professional program (junior/senior) (300/400
level) classes.
All courses must be passed with
a D or better or be transferred in and the student must have a GPA of 2.00 and
an engineering GPA of 2.00 in all courses at USA.
They must also maintain these grade averages to retain PCS (Professional
Component Standing). (See grade exception for EH 101 and EH 102)
Course prerequisites
Most courses have
prerequisites. These courses contain the background necessary for successful
performance in a course. This
requires careful planning to insure that the student has the pre-requisites for
each course they intend to take. Having
a prerequisite means that you have completed that course with a D or better.
In the near future, the PAWS
system will prevent your registration in courses for which you do not have the
pre-requisite.
Students are encouraged to make
course plans through graduation so they can graduate in a timely manner.
Curriculum worksheets and flowcharts are available which show the
pre-requisites.
Semester engineering courses
are offered.
