Accelerated Master's Program
Looking to get a head start on your graduate education? Our Accelerated Master’s Program lets you earn both your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering in as little as five years. Students must have 75 credits towards their bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering completed, possess a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25, and be admitted into the professional program in mechanical engineering.
Admission and Retention Policy
The Mechanical Engineering Department faculty have understood the need for maintaining a standard that enables students to be competitive in their coursework. The department has maintained a policy of minimum academic stands for many years. This policy will continue to be enforced.

New Grad Student Checklist
Checklist for incoming graduate students to facilitate onboarding in mechanical engineering.
ME Pre-Order Form
All individuals (students/faculty/staff) purchasing items through the Mechanical Engineering Department MUST have this form on file before doing so. You may also need to check in the ME Office for specifics about ordering with certain companies. If ordering for a Senior Design project, a budget form is also required. Without this form and a budget on file, you do not have proper authorization to purchase items for any project.
Reimbursement Form - Supplies
In order to be reimbursed for expenses not charged directly to the Mechanical Engineering Department, a reimbursement form can be filed. You will be reimbursed ONLY if this form is completed and approved PRIOR to purchases. NDSU does not pay sales tax, therefore, this may not be reimbursed. An ORIGINAL receipt must also accompany this form.
Reimbursement Form - Travel
In order to be reimbursed for approved travel expenses not charged directly to the Mechanical Engineering Department, a travel reimbursement form can be filed. ORIGINAL ITEMIZED receipts must also accompany this form for all items needing reimbursement, and credit card/bank statements may be needed as supporting documentation.
Space Use Agreement (Docusign)
Students who intend to work out in our Auxiliary Enterprises shop space as part of a senior design group or for student organization activity, are required to complete a series of safety trainings along with this form. Additional information can be found in the ME Office.
Technical Elective Course Offering Grid
Mechanical Engineering Students are required to choose 5 technical electives. Additional courses will be offered as they are developed by the faculty. This handout is meant only to serve as a guide, and is not necessarily comprehensive. Check with the department for current course offerings and changes.
