Catalog Copy

MEGR 2499. Energy Engineering Clinic I. (1) Prerequisites: Admission to BSME energy concentration; Sophomore standing, GPA of 3.0 or above. (Required course)

MEGR 3094. Special Topics in Energy Engineering. (1-4)Prerequisite: permission of the department. The course will build upon and synthesize the knowledge the students have gained from the mechanical engineering core curriculum. The specific topics covered in each separate offering of the course will serve as the vehicle for teaching engineering analysis, synthesis and design, while simultaneously affording an opportunity for the students to point themselves toward an area of specialization. May be repeated for credit. (Technical Elective)

MEGR 3455. Energy Engineering Clinic II. (2)Prerequisites: MEGR 2499, MEGR 3156, MEGR 3152, MEGR 3112, Co-Requisite MEGR 3251, all with a grade of C or better and senior standing. First of a two semester sequence leading to a major integrative experience in applying the principles of design and project management to the design of a major mechanical engineering system with energy/power emphases. Teamwork and communication skills are emphasized. (Required Course)

MEGR 3456. Energy Engineering Clinic III. (2)Prerequisites: MEGR 3455 with a grade of C or better. Second of a two semester sequence leading to a major integrative experience in applying the principles of design and project management to the design of a major mechanical engineering system with energy/power emphases. Teamwork and communication skills are emphasized. (Required)

Catalog Description of the Energy Engineering Concentration:

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (B.S.M.E.)

(Concentration in Energy Engineering)

The Energy Engineering concentration area is intended for students interested in specialized and systematic training and education in the area of power generation. Students completing the requirements described in this program will receive a special designation on their transcripts showing that they have completed the Energy Engineering concentration.

Students must apply for admission and may enter the program during the sophomore or junior years only. To be admitted to the program students must have completed Physics I (PHYS 2101 & 2101L), Calculus I, II, and III (MATH 1241, 1242, and 2241), and Engineering Mechanics I (MEGR 2141), all with a grade of C or better and have a minimum GPA of 3.0. In order to remain in the concentration a minimum (overall and program) GPA of 3.0 must be maintained.
