A minimum of 120 credits and completion of all degree requirements is required for a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland. Effective Fall 2017, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has implemented the goldenrod plan. Please refer to our Course Maps page for information about this and our previous course plans. 121 - 125 is an average amount of credits needed to complete the requirements for Mechanical Engineering but may vary depending on general education course choices, applicable transfer courses, special programs, or other factors.


Overview by Requirements


Students in all majors are required to complete the University’s general education requirements (GER). While 40 credits of general education courses are required, some of these requirements will be met through the Mechanical Engineering curriculum. The following GER’s are not met through the ME curriculum and will need to be satisfied prior to graduation:

        • Fundamental Studies:
               ○  Academic Writing (ENGL101)
               ○  Oral Communication
        • Distributive Studies:
               ○ 2 History & Social Sciences
               ○ 2 Humanities
               ○ 1 Scholarship in Practice (2 Scholarship in Practice courses are required, but in most cases the ME curriculum satisfies 1 of these requirements)
        • 2 I-Series (these may overlap with Distributive Studies courses)
        • 2 Diversity (these may overlap with Distributive Studies courses)
