The full list of courses required for the major can be found in the Drexel University Catalog. The recommended plan of study lists the courses recommended for each term in order to complete the program. Additionally, students can choose an optional concentration in either Aerospace or Energy. Please see the Degree Requirements section of the BSME page in the Catalog.
Minors
Within the MEM curriculum, the opportunity exists to complete at least one minor subject area. Common minors are mathematics, languages, business administration, and other engineering designations. Each minor has its own set or requirements.
BS/MS Program
High-achieving students have the opportunity to apply for the BS/MS program which allows students to complete both a Bachelor's and Master's in Mechanical Engineering in a 5-year period. For information on the BS/MS program, please review the Catalog requirements and the Graduate College Policy.
For current students, please visit Advising for Engineers (A4E) located in Blackboard Learn under Administrative Term. From there, you can find requirements in the Department folder.
Hess Honors Program
Hess Scholar Angelica Batista used computed tomography (CT) imaging technology to analyze the left-right symmetry of weight-bearing tarsal bones under the mentorship of professor Sorin Siegler.
