Mechanical Engineering, B.S.


In addition to adhering to General Education , students must meet the following requirements to receive the B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at UC Merced.


All students in the School of Engineering, regardless of major, are required to complete all requirements for all majors with a C- or better. (ENGR 091 ENGR 191 CE 001 , and BIOE 001  are the only exceptions, which require a P grade.)

Students in the School of Engineering must repeat a required course after receiving a grade of D+, D, D-, F, Unsatisfactory, or Not Passed, and may do so no more than twice beyond the initial enrollment in the class. Students may repeat a course only one time (for a total of two attempts to earn a C- or better). If students do not complete these requirements, they may take these courses at another institution or petition the school who hosts the course for a third attempt. The third attempt is not guaranteed at UC Merced.
