ME Dual and Joint Degrees*

*(AKA: MDDP-Multiple Dependent Degree Program)



Dual Degrees

Dual degrees may be obtained with Mechanical Engineering and other programs in the College of Engineering. These require 142 (minimum) credits hours, and result in the award of two B.S.E. degrees (one in Mechancial Engineering and one in the other program). Since these programs involve a substantial amount of double counting of credit, one cannot enter the SGUS program. Transfer credit may also be limited.

Admission to a dual degree program requires approval from both departments. Admission to a dual degree program is available for any student who has maintained an overall 3.0 GPA and also has a 3.0 GPA in "core" subjects. For more information please contact Sue Gow.

These dual-degrees programs currently exist:

  1. Aerospace Engineering
  2. Chemical Engineering
  3. Computer Engineering
  4. Computer Science
  5. Computer Science Engineering
  6. Civil and Environmental Engineering
  7. Electrical Engineering
  8. Engineering Physics
  9. Industrial and Operations Engineering
  10. Materials Science and Engineering
  11. Naval Architecture and Marine Architecture
  12. Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences

Please remember that you must get your course schedule approved by both program advisors.

If you are interested in doing a dual degree with another undergraduate program within the College of Engineering that is not listed above, please send an e-mail to Prof. Dowling. He will try and set up a program for you.
