Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is the broadest of all engineering disciplines, the role of the mechanical engineer is expanding well beyond the traditional automotive and manufacturing industries.

Our alums are in high demand by first-class employers around the country. While pursuing your mechanical engineering degree, you will gain hands-on experience through design courses, laboratory instruction and research opportunities. You will also have the opportunity to join many top-ranked design teams, like Miner Racing and the Human Powered Vehicle team.
As an incoming student, you'll work toward completing common freshman year courses while acquiring information to help you determine a major and career. During the first two or three semesters on campus, you will take a set of courses that are required by all engineering departments. After successfully completing the common freshmen year academic requirements, you'll formally apply for admission to the mechanical and aerospace engineering department. Admission is nearly automatic if you've completed these requirements.

The following guidelines are used in evaluating applications for admission to the ME and AE degree programs.

Not currently on probation or deficiency status.
Completed Math 1214 or 1211, Math 1215, Phys 1135, and Chem 1310 with a C or better.
A cumulative GPA 2.5. The cumulative GPA includes both S&T and transfer courses. It includes any GPA adjustment from the grade replacement policy.
UM cumulative GPA 2.5. The UM cumulative GPA includes courses taken at any of the University of Missouri campuses. It includes all grades for any repeated courses, with no GPA adjustment from the repeat course GPA adjustment policy.
A cumulative Math and Science GPA 2.25. The cumulative Math and Science GPA includes all courses listed below that have been completed at the time of application to the ME or AE program. It includes all grades for any repeated courses, with no GPA adjustment from the repeat course GPA adjustment policy.
Admission is selective and based on a combination of secondary school core curriculum (a set of required secondary school classes), ACT and/or SAT composite scores (if available), grade point average (GPA), and class rank percentile. (For non-ranking schools, GPA will be used to evaluate your application).
International students must fulfill the same admission requirements as domestic applicants, but standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) are not required but should be submitted if available. Meeting the minimum requirements, however, does not guarantee admission, nor does it guarantee admission to a particular program. Missouri S&T appreciates well-rounded students and evaluates each application individually.
Missouri S&T may request that you provide an official transcript evaluation from the World Education Services (WES). If this is required, it will be visible on your application checklist after submission of your application, or an admissions representative will contact you to request it.
Minimum English proficiency test score requirements are 80 for TOEFL, 6.5 for IELTS, 58 for PTE, or 105 for Duolingo. We also accept SAT ERW score minimum of 500.
