Chemistry Mechanical Engineering Major T he mechanical engineering program is dedicated to teaching the fundamental laws of God's nature, in the forms of science and mathematics, as the building blocks of a solid engineering education. An understanding of the forces at work within nature enables man to control and direct these forces to achieve human goals. While a firm theoretical foundation is laid, a strong emphasis is also placed on the practicality and application of the principles for solving design problems. Ideally, the beginning engineering student should have a good understanding of the basic physical sciences, a highly developed ability in mathematics, and the competence to read rapidly and with comprehension. Some students, for various reasons, are not prepared to enter directly into the mechanical engineering curriculum.
Opportunities are available to make up certain deficiencies.
In such a situation the time required to complete the mechanical engineering degree could be expected to increase. Students may elect to extend their program an additional semester and thereby eliminate the need for Interterm and Post-term courses. Mechanical engineering town students must pay the nonresidence fee, no exceptions. This meets 3 hours of social science requirement.
