Continuation in the Program

The Mechanical Engineering Graduate Program, in fulfillment of its responsibility to graduate highly qualified professional engineers, has established certain policies and procedures. In addition to the requirements of the Graduate School listed elsewhere, to continue in the program each Mechanical Engineering graduate student must:

Maintain at least a B (3.0) overall GPA in all course work major and minor, and

Demonstrate suitability for professional engineering practice.

At such time as questions are raised by Mechanical Engineering Graduate Faculty regarding either of the above, the student will be notified and will be provided the opportunity to respond to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Mechanical Engineering. The Committee on Graduate Studies will review the student's performance and make a recommendation concerning the student's eligibility to continue in the program. Appeal of a decision on continuation may be made through normal procedures outlined in the section of the catalog entitled "Grievances Other than Grades."
