Free Elective<br />
<strong>The</strong> above courses, in conjunction with the courses<br />
taken in the first year, s<strong>at</strong>isfy the following distribution<br />
requirement:<br />
a. A total of ten credits in introductory engineering<br />
sciences: four courses in biology, chemistry,<br />
Earth and ocean sciences, or physics, including<br />
Physics 11, Chemistry 1 or 16, and either<br />
Physics 12 or a second course in chemistry; four<br />
courses in m<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics comprised of M<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics<br />
32, 36, 42, and 51; and two credits in<br />
introductory engineering to include Engineering<br />
Science 2 and 93 Introductory Engineering 2.<br />
Many students opt to include biology in their<br />
electives, reflecting the increasing importance of<br />
biomedical engineering applic<strong>at</strong>ions in Mechanical<br />
Engineering.<br />
b. A total of six courses in humanities, arts and<br />
social sciences (HASS), including English 1 or<br />
3. At least one humanities and one social<br />
sciences course must be included. Acceptable<br />
HASS electives are available from Student<br />
Services online. Courses selected must include a<br />
minimum of one credit in each area of Humanities<br />
(H) and Social Sciences (SS).<br />
c. Eight department found<strong>at</strong>ion courses: five<br />
required courses rel<strong>at</strong>ed to engineering science,<br />
two elective courses in m<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics and/or<br />
n<strong>at</strong>ural science, and one found<strong>at</strong>ion elective.<br />
Note th<strong>at</strong> Engineering Science 101 and<br />
Mechanical Engineering 150 can be counted<br />
either as a M<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics/Science Elective or as<br />
BSME Concentr<strong>at</strong>ion Electives, while Engineering<br />
Science 55 (Numerical Methods for<br />
Engineers) and Engineering Science 56<br />
(Probability and St<strong>at</strong>istics) can only count as<br />
M<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics/N<strong>at</strong>ural Science Found<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Electives.<br />
d. Twelve department concentr<strong>at</strong>ion courses: three<br />
required mechanical engineering science courses<br />
(Mechanical Engineering 16, 37, and 80),<br />
introduction to research instrument<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
(Mechanical Engineering 18), two mechanical<br />
engineering design courses (Mechanical<br />
Engineering 1 and 42), a senior design project<br />
elective (Mechanical Engineering 43), and five<br />
mechanical engineering concentr<strong>at</strong>ion electives.<br />
