    + Courses listed in boldface type require a grade of C or better for graduation in this major. * To graduate a student must take at least two of the following lab courses: M E 315, M E 325, M E 355, M E 375, E MCH 316. If M E 445(4) is taken as a technical elective, one credit can be used as an M E Lab Course. 1 M E Technical elective - 3 credits of 400-level M E courses except M E 410, M E 440W, M E 441W, M E 450, M E 494 or M E 496. 2 Engineering Technical Elective is a 3-credit 400-level course in the College of Engineering including a non-required Mechanical Engineering course. 3 General Technical Elective is 3 credits of engineering, science, or math courses beyond the level required for the major. See department list. Three credits of Co-op can be used for the General Technical Elective after completion of three Co-op rotations. Six ROTC credits may be substituted for 3 credits of GHA and 3 credits of General Technical elective upon completion of the basic ROTC program. 4 ME 410 is a prerequisite for ME 441W. Students that wish to enroll in ME 441W may do so in the 8th semester by interchanging it with ETE or GTE. Only use this curriculum plan for first and second year course scheduling. Your degree requirements are defined when enter the major and may be different than listed on this page. Please refer to the ME Planning Manual for your Entrance to Major year http://www.mne.psu.edu/Undergraduate/Curriculum.html
