It is designed to supplement existing policy and is intended as aguide. However, students are asked to consult with academic advisors and with the appropriate Universityoffice for current information and policy. Important changes may occur without notice. The Departmentalways attempts to maintain an accurate Undergraduate Student Handbook; however, errors mayinadvertently occur. The Department reserves the right to correct such errors when they are found, withoutfurther notice. The presence of errors will not affect the application of rules and requirements to students.

MissionThe mission of the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program at North Carolina A&TState University is to prepare students for the broad practice of mechanical engineering and for graduateeducation in mechanical engineering and the many related fields such as materials engineering and aerospaceengineering.Program Educational ObjectivesWithin a few years of graduating from the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Program, graduatesare expected to:1. Perform effectively in mechanical engineering related positions in industry or in graduate/professionalschools.2. Demonstrate proficiency in teamwork and leadership skills for solving problems.3. Be active in their professional societies and in their communities.4. Engage in professional development through lifelong learning.3

Mechanical Engineering Technical ElectivesCourses include Mechanical Engineer Topics Review (MEEN 404), Composite Materials (MEEN 431),Fundamentals of Nanoscience and Engineering (MEEN 432), Aluminum-Based Product Design andManufacturing (MEEN 433), Computer Integrated Mechanism Design (MEEN 435), Advanced ManufacturingProcesses (MEEN 434), Aero Vehicle Structures (MEEN 451), Turbomachinery (MEEN 452), Flight VehiclePerformance (MEEN 453), Design of Thermal Systems (MEEN 461), Heating, Ventilation, and AirConditioning (MEEN 463), Internal Combustion Engines (MEEN 464), Energy Conversion Systems Design(MEEN 465), and Fundamentals of Nuclear Energy (MEEN 466).Students in Aerospace Option should only choose Technical Electives that are in bold face from the list above:MEEN 451, MEEN 453, and MEEN 465.Math/Science Electives(Note: Students may only take courses on the math/science elective list. May not count courses not on list.)The math/science elective list: MATH 351, MATH 432, CHEM107 and CHEM 117, BIOL 100, PHYS 290, andPHYS 305Critical Course Sequences[MATH 131] - [MATH 132, PHYS 241] - [MEEN 231] - [MEEN 232] - [MEEN 321] - [MEEN 480] [MEEN 481/482]Aerospace Option: [MATH 131] - [MATH 132, PHYS 241] - [MEEN 231] –[MEEN 232, MEEN 233] - [MEEN 315] - [MEEN 318, MEEN 321] - [MEEN 480] - [MEEN 482]Students should take the above one or two courses in the sequence listed to avoid spending an extra semester toone year in school. Also you must take all prerequisites required, in time, to stay on path.Senior-Level Courses Offered in Fall or Spring Semester onlyNote that MEEN 480 is offered only in the fall semesters, and MEEN 492 and MEEN 481 (MEEN 482 forAerospace Option) are only offered in the spring semesters. Therefore, students should complete MEEN 321and MEEN 341 (or MEEN 318) in the spring semester of their junior year to be ready for the senior projectMEEN 480 in the fall semester of their senior year. Students who fail to follow this schedule will not be able tograduate on time. Note that the department recommends for students to plan their studies so that they only takea maximum of 13 credits while taking MEEN 480, and 481/482 in the senior year.National Scholarships and FellowshipsEXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITIES: The National Scholarships and Fellowships Coordinatorhelps NC A&T's undergraduate students, graduate students, and alumni learn of and apply fornationally competitive scholarships and fellowships, regardless of University Honors Programmembership or current scholarship status. These extraordinary opportunities are external to NC A&Tand they span a wide range of experiences. Many of these extraordinary opportunities (EOs) are fullyfunded and are connected to undergraduate as well as graduate degree programs and internships,international programs and activities, language programs, and independent projects and research. Formore information go to website at: olarshipsfellowships/index.php11
Minimum Grade of “C-” in Selected CoursesThe College of Engineering and the Mechanical Engineering Program have adopted a list of specific courses inwhich students must earn a minimum grade of “C-” to meet graduation requirements or to progress on to anycourse for which these courses are prerequisites. This policy will be in effect beginning Fall 2020. The list ofcourses which require a minimum “C-” grade for mechanical engineering students are:MATH 131, 132, 231PHYS 241All other courses in the BSME curriculum only requires a minimum grade of D to pass. However, a student musthave a minimum GPA of 2.0 overall and 2.0 in the major to graduate.ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICYNorth Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is committed to academic integrity and honesty forall students. Examples of Academic Dishonesty include but are not limited to: Cheating or knowingly assisting another student in committing an act of academic dishonesty;Plagiarism (unauthorized use of another person’s words or ideas as one’s own) which includes but is notlimited to submitting examinations, theses, reports, drawings, laboratory notes or other materials as one’sown work when such work has been prepared by another person or copied from another person.Unauthorized possession of examinations or reserve library materials, destruction or hiding of sourcematerials, library materials, or laboratory materials or experiments or any other similar action;Unauthorized changing of grades or marking on an examination or in an instructor’s grade book, or suchchange of any grade record;Aiding or abetting in the infraction of any of the provisions anticipated under the general standards of studentconduct; orAssisting another student in violating any of the above rules.A student who has committed an act of academic dishonesty has failed to meet a basic requirement of satisfactoryacademic performance. Thus, academic dishonesty is not only a basis for disciplinary action but may also affectthe evaluation of the student’s level of performance. Any student who commits an act of academic dishonesty issubject to disciplinary action as defined below.In instances where a student has clearly been identified as having committed an academic act of dishonesty, theinstructor may take appropriate punitive action including a loss of credit for an assignment, an examination orproject, or award a grade of “F” for the course subject to the review and endorsement of the chairperson and thedean. Repeated offenses can even lead to dismissal from the University.STUDENT APPEALS OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTYA student who feels that he or she has been unfairly treated as a result of an academic dishonesty matter mayappeal the action in writing to the University Judicial Tribunal. The written notice of appeal must be submittedwithin one week (seven calendar days) of the date of the incident. The student should refer to the section onAppellate Procedures in the Student Handbook.GRADE APPEALA student may appeal the final grade earned in a course. Initially, the student should attempt to resolve the matterinformally through the instructor of the course, the department chair and/or dean of the academic unit in whichthe grade was assigned. If the matter is not resolved through this level of interaction, then the student shoul
