Mechanical Engineering, B.S.

Policy for Transfer Credit Towards Mechanical Engineering (ME) Core Coursework

In general, transfer of coursework towards a Mechanical Engineering degree will follow University of Wyoming policy. Courses must be shown to be equivalent to its University of Wyoming course (latitude may be given for Mechanical Engineering electives without a direct University of Wyoming equivalent). However, six courses are considered to be the core of the Mechanical Engineering program, and therefore credit cannot be transferred from another institution. These courses are ME 3010 , ME 3020 , ME 3040 , ME 3170 , ME 3360 , and ME 3450 . Exceptions may be made for courses from approved study abroad programs or in extreme circumstances. Please note that failing a prerequisite course resulting in a delay of graduation does not constitute an extreme circumstance. Any transfer of ME courses requires explicit written approval from the Department.

Notes:

1. Before enrolling in any upper division ESE or ME course, students must complete the ME Success Curriculum (3.000 GPA in MATH 2200 , MATH 2250 , MATH 2210 , and the seven ES courses).
2. Graduates must meet all college requirements and earn a minimum GPA of 2.000 in ME courses taken at UW. A minimum of 48 hours are required, so ME, business, and technical electives should be chosen appropriately.
