Evening Program
The mechanical engineering program of study that leads to the BME degree can be completed on a part-time basis after normal working hours. The program is especially appealing to the non-traditional student: the individual who went to work immediately after high school and now finds themself working alongside engineers. Students in the evening program must complete all of the same coursework as required in the regular daytime curriculum. The evening student however, takes one half the regular courseload every semester so the entire program can be completed in eight years instead of four years of full-time study.
Courses are scheduled in the 4:00-6:00 PM, 6:00-8:00 PM, and 8:00-10:00 PM time slots on a rotating basis Monday through Thursday. Students who cannot leave work for 4:00 PM classes should contact the department chairman for assistance in scheduling their coursework in the later time slots.
A recommended sequence of coursework is listed below. However, based on course offering and work schedules, students should be prepared to substitute alternate courses into this sequence. Substitute courses should be chosen carefully to ensure that course prerequisites are satisfied.
