Mechanical Engineering Curriculum Notes
• To graduate with a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering, students must K-State Core
have a ≥ 2.200 GPA in all ME/NE classes ≥ 400 level taken for undergraduate credit The K-State Core (KSC) is the university’s version of the systemwide general education
at Kansas State University. Course grades that have been removed by the K-State framework established by the Kansas Board of Regents.
Retake policy will not apply to this GPA calculation.
KSC requirement 1 – English (6 hours)
• Before taking classes at another college/university, students should confirm that the KSC requirement 2 – Communications (3 hours)
courses they wish to take will be accepted in transfer. KSC requirement 3 – Math and Statistics (3 hours)
KSC requirement 4 – Natural and Physical Sciences (4-5 hours)
Technical Electives KSC requirement 5* – Social and Behavioral Sciences (6 hours)
Technical Elective Lists and Nuclear Engineering Option information can be found at KSC requirement 6* – Arts and Humanities (6 hours)
mne.k-state.edu/student-success/advising. KSC requirement 7 – Institutional Electives (6 hours)
To view course lists for each requirement, visit k-state.edu/provost/kstate-core.
To pursue a minor, please contact your advisor for more information.
*Requires two courses from two different subject areas.
FINAN 450 Principles of Finance (3 credit hours) can substitute for IMSE 530 Engineering
Economic Analysis (2 credit hours) only for students who successfully complete the
Business Minor.
