Mechanical Engineering Curriculum Changes

Aerospace Engineering Minor

  • The newer version of the minor – applicable to all students who did  not take ME 4810 – requires AE 2500 and AE 2550.  These courses must be taken for the minor and represent 3-6 extra credits for BSME students earning this minor.  AE 2500/2550 cannot be counted as ME technical elective credits.
  • Anyone that declares the Aerospace Engineering major (BSAE alone or as an ME/AE double major) cannot also earn the Aerospace Engineering minor.  Students can drop the minor to add the major or vice versa.
  • See an MAE advisor to discuss your individual situation.

Notes on the NEW Aerospace Engineering Major

  • You must be declared as an Aerospace Engineering major to register for AE courses.  Otherwise wait list to be added as minor students or other students interested in taking AE courses (must have correct pre-reqs).
  • You can make curriculum changes – changing majors, adding a double major, dropping a minor, etc – through this process.
  • See an MAE advisor to discuss your individual situation.

General Advising Reminders

  • Complete online graduation application during your second to last semester prior to graduation through Experience (My Undergraduate Degree).  Fall grads should submit in January.  Spring/summer grads in September.
  • Graduating next semester? Contact an MAE academic advisor to start the process of finalizing your online degree audit.  See FAQ #18 below and watch your email if you are in your last or second to last semester.

Fall 2026 Waiting Lists for MAE Courses

Published
By

Click on a course below to access a Google Form to create a waiting list entry for a full MAE course/section for the Fall 2026 semester.

  1. Please read the form carefully and complete it as accurately and completely as possible.
  2. We will prioritize the waiting lists firstly based on which students have the greatest need for a required course to maintain feasible graduation timing and/or earn a minor, etc.  We’ll also take the planned graduation semester into account for technical electives (Fall 2026 grads take priority over Spring/Summer 2027 grads, etc).  Then priority will be based on your designated time to begin registration in the priority schedule and/or the time stamp on your waiting list entry.
  3. The department will strive to quickly address the waiting lists to add students to needed courses as soon as possible.
  4. Students will be notified with an email if and when they are added to a course from a waiting list.
  5. Feel free to contact the academic advisors with questions at any time, but you must complete the online form to get on a waiting list.
  6. If you do get into an MAE course, but not in your preferred section, you can use the waiting list form to request a section change also.
  7. Do not complete the online form to get on a waiting list until after your registration time starts according to the published schedule (by earned credits).  If you do submit an entry early, it will jeopardize your priority for getting into the course.

If you are not declared for AE as a major and need/want to take AE course(s) (for the AE minor, etc), please get on the corresponding AE wait list to log your request and we will work on adding students as we are able according to the course capacity.
