Declare A Minor

SPECIALIZE YOUR DEGREE Mechanical Engineering students can complete an academic minor to supplement the skills and knowledge acquired in their major degree program. Minor requirements vary; each minor requires at least 15 credit hours in the secondary discipline. In minors closely related to ME, some required minor courses may also fulfill a BSME requirement. Completion of a minor appears on the student’s official transcript and diploma.

Should I declare a minor?

The first thing you should do is consider your career goals – how would declaring a minor enable you to achieve your goals? Talk to your advisor to see what a good fit for you might be. Several minors overlap with the ME undergraduate degree requirements.
