Academic Plans

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is dedicated to helping students navigate and enrich their academic experience. To achieve this goal students are responsible for developing and maintaining academic plans, which chart their progress from orientation until graduation. The templates provided are sample plans to assist you in creating your own academic plan and do not replace one-on-one advising. You can complete a comprehensive academic plan, including second majors or minors that you plan to pursue, by following the template and meeting with the undergraduate curriculum adviser. You are responsible for completing all college, university and major requirements on the academic plan and meeting annual benchmark deadlines which ensure that you remain on track for graduation.

NOTE: Starting during the 2022-23 academic year, slight changes to the curriculum will be made. These adjustment timelines are listed on the following ME plans. Please be aware of these changes and how they will be implemented.
