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.

Graduate Proposal Form (Docusign)
Used for master's thesis, master's comprehensive graduate degrees.
Lab Access Request (Docusign)
Required to formally request lab access to lab spaces in the Richard Offerdahl Engineering Complex (ROEC). Safety trainings may be required depending on the room(s) being requested. Advisor approval is required for ALL requests. Please ensure all required trainings are completed prior to submitting an access request. Incomplete requests may not be processed.
ROEC Room List: Includes safety requirements.
Online safety trainings (Vector Solutions): Contact department admin coordinator with issues logging in to Vector Solutions.
Hazardous Waste Definition (NDSU ChemPlan): "These are by-products, residues, spent substances, or other accumulations of altered, outdated, or unwanted substances that are hazardous. These substances exhibit properties of ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity and are more completely defined in Appendix 3. Hazardous Waste: By-products of society that can pose a substantial or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly managed, possess at least one of four characteristics (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity), or appear on special EPA lists. EPA simply defines hazardous waste as having properties that make it dangerous or capable of having harmful effects on human health or the environment."
Initial Waste Handling Training: In person training only required ONCE. Renewals occur each semester through Vector Solutions.
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.
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.
