Review the mechanical engineering degree plan or the Missouri S&T catalog for full requirements.
Once you begin the program, you can take all courses on Missouri State’s campus.

The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in mechanical engineering requires at least 132 credit hours.
You must earn a grade of “C” or better in all mechanical engineering courses.
The 132 required credit hours are in addition to credit received for algebra, trigonometry and basic ROTC courses.
Note: Some of the non-engineering courses you take at MSU (like physics and calculus) count for more credit hours than the same courses at Missouri S&T.
Thus, the total required credit hours at MSU (132) and Missouri S&T (128) are slightly different for mechanical engineering, but you’ll still take the same amount of courses.

If there’s a specific area of mechanical engineering you enjoy, we can help you go further.
With nine hours of technical electives in your classes, you can pursue an emphasis area.
These include:
Interested in a career with aerospace, petroleum or nuclear engineering?
With help from your advisor, you can choose your desired technical electives in those fields as well.
You’re not required to have a minor for this degree. If you’d like to add a minor, talk with your advisor.
Consistent with the educational objectives listed in the catalog, the cooperative mechanical engineering program meets all ABET requirements.
