The mechanical engineering (ME) undergraduate program offers a comprehensive and adaptable curriculum. It includes a foundational ME core, a design and professional-practice component, and 15 credit hours of free electives. This education equips students to become effective problem solvers, ready to enter diverse industries or pursue advanced studies in graduate school. The ME program strongly emphasizes design, creativity, and experiential, hands-on learning. To prepare for the broad career opportunities available to mechanical engineers, the curriculum integrates subjects like electronics, materials science, computer programming, and manufacturing. The substantial number of free electives enables students to obtain minors and certificates from across the Institute or to focus on specific ME specializations. This flexibility also facilitates participation in various special programs, such as co-ops, internships, study abroad, and undergraduate research.
The Woodruff School provides a BS/MS program for students who show both interest and aptitude for education beyond the bachelor's degree. Woodruff School students with a GPA of 3.5 or above may apply after earning 30 semester credit hours at Georgia Tech, but before reaching 75 credit hours, which includes transfer and AP credits. Applications from students with more than 75 credit hours will be evaluated individually.
