Additional Information


  • Additional course requirements: The Tennessee Board of Regents requires that students demonstrate the appropriate skill levels before enrolling in college-level courses. ACT/SAT scores, COMPASS test scores, or other relevant information determines whether a student needs to enroll in Learning Support courses in reading, writing, and/or math. After completing the required Learning Support course(s), a student may enroll in college-level courses.
  • Students are strongly encouraged to complete a course in Mechanics of Materials, also known as Strength of Materials, before transferring to a university.
  • Courses in engineering technology do not fulfill any of the requirements for the Area of Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Although it is possible to complete the B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering in four semesters after earning the associate’s degree, students typically need five or six semesters to complete requirements.

 

* This course is part of the general education core.
