The following rules apply:

• The minor consists of a minimum of 18 credits, including at least nine credits in courses at or above the 300 level in mechanical engineering.

• At least nine credits of the 18 credits required for the minor must be taken in residence at AUS.

• At least six credits of the nine credits at or above the 300 level must be taken in residence at AUS.

• A minimum GPA of 2.00 must be earned in courses completed to satisfy the minor.

Students seeking a minor in mechanical engineering must successfully complete the following courses or their equivalent. All course prerequisites must be satisfied.
