- Upon admission to the minor, completion of a minimum of three (3) upper division technical courses in Mechanical Engineering (ME 104 does not count as one of the 3 as it is a prerequisite).

Procedures
- After completion of the prerequisite courses, students will need to complete and submit to the Undergraduate Office of Mechanical Engineering (Room 6195 Etcheverry) a Petition for Admission form.
- The department will verify the completion of the minor and send the paperwork to the appropriate parties after final grades are available.
- A notation in the memorandum section of the student’s transcript will indicate completion of the minor if it is approved by above parties.
