Academic Plans

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is dedicated to helping students navigate and enrich their academic experience. To achieve this goal students are responsible for developing and maintaining academic plans, which chart their progress from orientation until graduation. The templates provided are sample plans to assist you in creating your own academic plan and do not replace one-on-one advising. You can complete a comprehensive academic plan, including second majors or minors that you plan to pursue, by following the template and meeting with the undergraduate curriculum adviser. You are responsible for completing all college, university and major requirements on the academic plan and meeting annual benchmark deadlines which ensure that you remain on track for graduation.

Interactive Academic Planner

The Interactive Academic Planner is a student-centered tool designed to support course planning and prerequisite tracking. With its embedded automatic prerequisite check feature, students can efficiently organize their coursework, mark completed classes, and build customized academic plans. The planner also allows users to download and upload their plans, streamlining communication and collaboration with academic advisors.
