Minor in Mechanical Engineering

Chair: Richard B. Bannerot

Engineering majors must earn a grade of C- or better in all engineering, mathematics, and science courses. No grade lower than C- will be accepted on any courses transferred to the University of Houston.

A major grade point average of 2.000 is required for graduation. The major grade point average is caculated using all MECE course (except MECE 3400).

A drafting requirement (for no credit toward graduation) may be satisfied by completing CIVT 1330. (This requirement may be met using other courses, high school drafting completed in the tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade, or industrial experience by filing a petition in the department.)

Mechanical Engineering Minor

Students who choose to minor in mechanical engineering must complete the general requirements for a minor with at least 18 hours in Mechanical Engineering including MECE 2334, 3363, and 3400 or equivalent.

Courses in the minor program can be selected from any of the Mechanical Engineering courses listed in the Undergraduate Studies Catalog, including the senior level electives. No special problems or thesis courses are permitted.

Students should consult the Academic Regulations and Degree Requirements section of this catalog for general information on the requirements for minors and contact the undergraduate advisor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Students must earn a 2.00 minimum cumulative grade point average on all courses attempted in the minor discipline at the University of Houston. No course may count toward the minor in which a grade of less than C- is earned.
