1 UW Clleges Transfer Advising Guide Bachelr f Science degree in Mechanical Engineering Cllege f Science, Technlgy, Engineering and Mathematics University f Wiscnsin Stut Last updated/reviewed 09/26/2015 The fllwing guide is intended t assist yu in planning fr yur eventual transfer t and graduatin frm UW Stut. This guide includes nly the requirements that can be cmpleted at the tw year UW Clleges. It is nt a requirement, nr always advisable, t cmplete all curses listed in this guide prir t transfer. Fr a full list f requirements refer t the additinal resurces included in the pages belw. Nte that this guide is an advisry tl nly and subject t change. Applicatin Prcedure Submit the UW System applicatin, available nline at: Send fficial transcripts frm all pst secndary institutins attended. Send fficial high schl transcripts if yu have nt already earned yur bachelr s degree at the time yu apply. If any Advanced Placement r Internatinal Baccalaureate tests were taken while in high schl and received a scre f 3 r higher, a cpy f yur scre reprt is required t be cnsidered fr cllege credit. Admissins Requirements The Transfer Admissin Requirements state that yu are likely t be admitted in gd standing if yu have a cumulative grade pint average f 2.5 r greater. A cmprehensive review is cmpleted and everything, including yur applicant statement, is taken int cnsideratin when a decisin is made. Students transferring having already earned their assciate degree with a minimum cumulative GPA may be cnsidered fr admissin n a prbatinary basis. Majr Specific Requirements: Page 1 f 5 1. Transfer students will be admitted t the Mechanical Engineering prgram if at least ne f the fllwing three requirements are met: Bth "Test A" AND "Test B" belw are satisfied: Test A Student must have an verall ACT scre f 22 r better, r student must be in the upper 40% f high schl graduating class. Test B Student must have an ACT MATH scre f 22 r better. 2. Student has transferred either f the fllwing Calculus curses in with a grade f "B" r better (Nte: a grade f "B " is nt sufficient): MATH 153 Calculus I r MATH 156 Calculus and Analytic Gemetry I 3. Student has transferred the fllwing sequence f curses with an verall grade pint average fr these curses f 2.0 (n a 4.0 scale) r higher: MATH 153 Calculus I (r MATH 156 Calculus and Analytic Gemetry I) MATH 154 Calculus II (r MATH 157 Calculus and Analytic Gemetry II) PHYS 291 Statics (r PHYS 281 University Physics I) CHEM 135 Cllege Chemistry I If an applicant des nt meet any f the abve requirements fr admissin t the afrementined prgrams, but des meet the requirements fr admissin t the university; they may enrll withut as Pre Engineering and qualify fr the engineering majr by meeting either requirement 2 r 3 by cmpleting the apprpriate curses at UW Stut. Graduatin Requirements begin n page 2.

2 UW Stut Graduatin Requirements All students graduating frm UW Stut must als meet Racial and Ethnic Studies as well as Glbal Perspective requirements. Students transferring frm ne f the UW Clleges having already earned their Assciate f Arts & Sciences degree have these tw categries autmatically met. Students that have nt cmpleted their degree at the time they transfer will have t meet the requirements fr the Racial & Ethnic Studies and Glbal Perspective areas identified belw. UW Stut curses that meet these requirements are listed in the UW Stut General Educatin Requirements (chse GE/RES/GLP curse list [PDF]) apprved listings n page 7 9. Students are encuraged t meet these requirements with curses that als apply t either general educatin r majr requirements. Ptentially a single curse culd apply t 2 3 prgram requirements. Racial & Ethnic Studies (RES): Six credits are required with a minimum f three credits frm the Categry RES A curse list. The remaining three credits may be frm either the RES A r RES B curse list. At the UW Clleges curses that may meet sme f these requirements are listed with the ES (Ethnic Studies) designatin. Curses that may apply t this requirement are curses that transfer as equivalencies t curses listed in the UW Stut General Educatin Requirements (chse GE/RES/GLP curse list [PDF]) apprved listings n page 7. Glbal Perspective (GLP): Cmpleted by either cmpleting a prgram f university apprved wrk r study abrad, r cmpleting six credits f curses apprved as fulfilling the glbal perspective requirement. Curses that may apply t this requirement are curses that transfer as equivalencies t curses listed in the UW Stut General Educatin Requirements (chse GE/RES/GLP curse list [PDF]) apprved listings n page 8 9. General Educatin Requirements begin n page 3. Page 2 f 5
