Transfer Guides are designed to maximize transfer credit as students complete their associate degree at the community college before transferring to the bachelor's degree program. If you are a current Virginia Community College student or are planning to start at a Virginia Community College before transferring to this institution and program, please follow the Transfer Guide to plan your courses at the community college. The following Transfer Guide(s), applicable to this program, are available in the Resource Center.

George Mason Mechanical Engineering BS Transfer Guide

If there is a program-specific Transfer Guide and a general or general studies Transfer Guide, you are advised to follow the program-specific Transfer Guide. Please see your community college advisor for assistance in selecting the best pathway.

Today, the role of mechanical engineer is ever expanding in order to find innovative solutions for contemporary problems, and to address problems yet to be identified. To meet the growing demands of worldwide energy needs spurred by population growth and dwindling supplies of fossil fuels, for instance, mechanical engineers seek innovations in nuclear energy, bio-fuels, wind, and tidal energies to build an energy portfolio that exploits these seemingly limitless resources. From product design, which spans from biomedical devices to turbo-machinery, to manufacturing, which develops machines and systems needed to process raw materials into these products, an awareness of the benefits of advanced materials for sensing and monitoring the health of these systems and an awareness of the stealth threats to manufacturing brought on by an ever present cyber threat are in the minds of the mechanical engineers. Now more mechanical engineers oversee the operations and management of large systems along with the fiscal and human resources needed to run them.

Outcomes

The major in mechanical engineering has three program education objectives, namely: - Graduates have demonstated success as a mechanical engineer or their chosen career field; - Graduates have advanced their educational pursuits through graduate education, professional registration, or similar means; - Graduates have advanced their careers by engaging in professional society participation and community service outreach.

Program Guidance Element	What You Need to Know
Considerations for Selecting Degree	Mechanical engineering students take courses in a wide range of fields, including computer programming and electrical circuits. The education received from Mason’s mechanical engineering program will prepares graduates to help solve both current and future societal problems. As a student you gain experience working in teams to conceive, design, and produce solutions to sponsor-dictated mechanical engineering problems. Our dedicated labs provide opportunities to study fluid mechanics and heat transfer, mechanics and materials science. Our graduates have skills that are crucial in a wide range of fields, such as aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, computers, construction, consumer products, energy, electronics, government, nanotechnology, and robotics.

Considerations When Selecting Courses	Create a schedule for all required courses, pay attention to prerequisites and when courses are offered, complete your first math and English courses in your first year Connect with an advisor at your community college and George Mason University within your first year
Program Requirements Beyond Specific Courses
Doing More With Your Degree	Aerospace Engineering Concentration: Students can earn this designation by completing 12 credits of specified courses in place of the 300/400 electives. Courses in both aeronautics and astronautics are offered each semester and will be available to mechanical engineering students in their senior year. Bachelors/Accelerated Master’s: Students can use up to 12 graduate credits towards both a bachelor’s and master’s degree reducing the time to earn the MS degree by up to a year. Master’s options include applied and engineering physics, applied information technology, bioengineering, civil and infrastructure engineering, computational science, data analytics engineering, electrical engineering, operations research, and systems engineering.

What If I Have An Associate Degree Or Credit For Prior Learning?

Transfer Guidance Element	What You Need to Know
Associate Transfer Degree Completion	Transfer associate degree completion is recommended. RBC and VCCS students completing A.A., A.A.& S., A.F.A, or A.S. degrees receive a lower-level Mason Core waiver.
Completion of Associate Degree Concurrent with High School	Students who earn an associate degree through high school dual enrollment should still apply as freshmen and are not eligible for GAA. College coursework will be evaluated for transferable course credit.
Credit for Prior Learning	https://www2.gmu.edu/admissions-aid/apply-now/how-apply/transfer/transfer-credit-policy
Did You Know That...	Completing your Associate transfer degree post-high school satisfies all lower division general education requirements and increases the chance of completing your bachelor's degree? Exceeding 3 years or 90 credits at your community college means you may have exhausted your financial aid at that college and have limited your future financial aid at: George Mason University
