General Flow Chart Guidelines

Not an Official List

128 total credits (plus 3 units of co-curricular activities). This flow chart is not an official list of degree requirements. Adjustments may be required due to curriculum changes. This is a sample course plan only. All required courses are offered each fall and spring semester. Students may take courses in any semester as long as pre-requisites are met.

General Education Requirements

24 total credits. Required courses are UN1015-Composition (3 credits), UN 1025-Global Issues (3 credits), a Critical and Creative Thinking course (3 credits), a Social Responsibility and Ethical Reasoning course (3 credits), and 12 HASS (Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences) credits. The 12 total credits of HASS must include a minimum of 3 credits each in Communication/ Composition, Humanities/Fine Arts and Social and Behavioral Science. Approved course lists are available in the ME Advising Center and are linked on the ME Advising webpage. 6 credits must be 3000 level or higher (does not include EC 3400). EC 3400 is not a HASS course for ME students, but is still required for the BSME. No more than 3 credits may be used from the HASS Restricted List. All 3000 level or higher HASS courses require UN 1015 and UN 1025 as non-concurrent prerequisites.

UN 1025 Global Issues Language Option

3 credits of 3000-level or higher modern language may be substituted directly for UN 1025. A list of approved courses is located on the Modern Language webpage. Any students with previous language experience in Spanish, French, German, or Mandarin must take the Modern Language Online Placement Test. Instructions are linked on the ME Advising webpage

Engineering Fundamentals

ENG 1002 or passing the online spatial visualization test is required for ENG 1101 as a concurrent pre-requisite. ENG 1002 or passing the spatial visualization test is also a pre-requisite (non-concurrent) for ENG 1102. MA 1160/1161 is a concurrent pre-requisite for ENG 1101 and ENG 1102. ENG 1102 project content varies by section number.

Math

Students are placed into an initial math course based on ACT/SAT math score, the online ALEKS assessment, or a math placement exam score for credit (AP, IB, CLEP). MA 1160 (4 credits) or MA 1161 (5 credits) satisfy the Calculus I requirement. MA 2320 and MA 3520 are offered as full semester courses for students taking these courses in separate semesters. The Math department also teaches MA 2321 as an accelerated course (equivalent to MA 2320) in the first half of a given semester and MA 3521 as an accelerated course (equivalent to MA 3520) in the second half of the semester (registration must be for the same section number of both MA 2321 and MA 3521 in the same semester) MA 2320, MA 2321, or MA 2330 are all equivalent and are approved pre-requisites for MA 3520 or MA 3521. MA 3530 or 3560 are also equivalent to MA 3520/3521. Both MA 2710 and 2720 are acceptable in place of MA 3710. A grade of ‘C’ or better in MA 2160 is required as a pre-requisite for MEEM 2110 and MEEM 2201.

Modules may not be offered every semester and may have prerequisites and/or restrictions. In order to enroll in ENT4950 to begin enterprise capstone project work, the online project approval process must be completed (i.e. project approved by the MAE department). Complete instructions for this process are available in the ME Advising Center and are linked on the ME Advising webpage. All four required Enterprise project semesters, ENT 3950/3960/4950/4960, must be completed with the same Enterprise team. ENT 2950/2960 for the same team may be substituted for ENT 3950/3960, if necessary.

Co-curricular Activities

Mainly physical education courses with some additions. Three units (or six half units) are required for graduation. These units will be included as earned hours and may be used to determine full-time enrollment status. These are in addition to the 128 total credits required for the BSME. Co-curricular list is available in the ME Advising Center and is linked on the ME Advising webpage. These units are graded pass/fail and are not included in credit hours used for calculation of any grade point averages (cumulative, engineering, or departmental).

Prerequisite Courses

The prerequisite course must be successfully completed prior to taking the subsequent course. Concurrent prerequisites - noted with a (C) - may be taken at the same time, although it is not necessary to take these courses together if the prerequisite course is completed first.

The prerequisites for ENT 4950 are: EE 3010 (C), ENT 3950 (same team), ENT 3960 (same team), MA 3710 (C), MEEM 3400, MEEM 3600 (C), MEEM 3201, MEEM 3750, MEEM 3901, MEEM 3911
- For the Fall 2021, Spring 2022, and Summer 2022 semesters, students will be allowed to take MEEM 3201 and/or MEEM 3750 concurrently with ENT 4950. Both courses must be passed to move on to ENT 4960. Starting in Fall 2022, all students must have already passed MEEM 3201 and MEEM 3750 to begin ENT 4950.
The prerequisites for ENT4960 are: EE 3010, ENT 4950 (same team), MA 3710, MEEM 3201, MEEM 3600, MEEM 3750

Co-requisite Courses

Transfer, Advanced Placement, or Study Abroad Courses

Transfer, Advanced Placement, or study abroad courses are not included in credit hours used for GPA calculations. Transfer credit is awarded for Michigan Tech equivalent course work only if a grade of ‘C’ or better (2.00/4.00) or equivalent is earned at a transfer institution. Study abroad credit will be awarded based on passing a course according to equivalent international standards. Advanced Placement credit is awarded according to published AP Exam score standards (also IB and CLEP).
