BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering students at Idaho State take the university's general education objectives alongside a rigorous technical program. Early terms emphasize several levels of calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, chemistry and physics, which prepare students for the core engineering courses that follow. An introductory engineering course doubles as a general education requirement, so students meet the discipline from the start. The catalog presents the required math and science courses as a separate list from the major sequence. A minimum credit total is stated for the degree, and eight out of nine general education objectives apply. The degree totals table at the end of the page shows how general education, major courses and electives combine, and no costs or dates appear. Students should meet with an advisor each term to confirm that course choices stay on track.
