 Admission and Application Requirements

• Graduate School admission and application requirements are found on the Admission Information page.
• In addition, this program requires applicants to have completed the following coursework:
  • Mathematics through Differential Equations (NDSU: MATH 266 Introduction to Differential Equations)
  • Statistics (NDSU: ME 221 Engineering Mechanics I) and Dynamics (NDSU: ME 222 Engineering Mechanics II); these two may be substituted by a calculus-based Physics I class
  • Thermodynamics (NDSU: ME 350 Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer); may be substituted with ABEN 644 Transport Processes, which may also count toward graduate degree
  • Fluid Mechanics (NDSU: CE 309 Fluid Mechanics or ME 352 Fluid Dynamics)
  • Physics II/Electricity and Magnetism (NDSU: PHYS 252 University Physics II)
• If the courses (or their equivalent) were not taken prior to matriculating at NDSU, they should be taken in addition to other coursework required for the graduate degree.
• The major adviser may appeal to the ABEN graduate committee (not the student’s supervisory committee) for substitutions or waivers of these requirements.
• Students are responsible for covering the costs of undergraduate courses.
