When it becomes necessary to limit enrollment, the overall g.p.a. as well as the g.p.a. for the prerequisite courses listed above, will be important factors. Application deadline dates are March 1 for the fall semester and October 1 for the spring semester. Students who have not completed all of the prerequisite courses will be placed in a pre-engineering major and assigned to a mechanical engineering adviser. Additional details and application forms are available from the department student services office. The School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering cooperates with the community colleges in Washington to minimize problems associated with transfer.
Inquiries are welcome.
A strong preparation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry is necessary prior to transfer to minimize the time required at Washington State University to complete the bachelor's degree requirements. The requirements for direct entry into the mechanical engineering program upon transfer are the same as listed above for certification. Transfer student applications will be handled by the Admissions Office and sent to the department so that students do not need to make separate application to the department.
