Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

California State University - Fullerton

The Mechanical Engineering B.S. / Mechanical Engineering M.S., a blended program that shortens the time required to earn a B.S. and M.S., degree, provides students with enriched learning experiences through advanced coursework and research opportunities in key technical areas of Mechanical Engineering. Courses in advanced manufacturing and robotics, digital twin and intelligent systems, thermal and fluid sciences, energy and sustainability, advanced materials and structural design, and controls and mechatronics equip students with strong analytical, modeling and design expertise. The program integrates foundational science, mathematics and engineering principles to develop engineers capable of analyzing and designing complex mechanical systems. Students begin taking graduate-level courses during their senior year of undergraduate study. In addition to the requirements for the major, students must meet all other university requirements for the bachelor's and master's degrees. B.S. Degree Requirements (120 units): Students are required to meet with their academic adviser every semester during the first year and at least once a year thereafter. They are strongly encouraged to see their academic advisers frequently to obtain guidance in pursuit of their careers. All courses taken in fulfillment of the requirements for the bachelor’s degree must be taken for a letter grade, i.e., under grade Option 1. All mathematics and physical science courses required for the degree must be completed with at least a ''C'' (2.0) to count as prerequisite courses to engineering courses or as credit towards the degree. Graduate courses are not open to undergraduate students without approval of the department chair or graduate program adviser. M.S. Degree Requirements (30 units): Coursework for the degree must be completed with an overall GPA of 3.0 or better. At least half the units must be approved graduate (500-level) courses.
