MME Advising

Textual Description of Mechanical Engineering Course Flowchart

This chart shows the courses needed to graduate, when those courses are typically taken, and the order in which the courses must be taken. The main area of the chart shows four boxes, one each for first-year, sophomore, junior, and senior years. Within each year, classes are shown in roughly two columns representing fall then spring semester. Courses are listed within each semester to indicate when the course is typically taken. An arrow leaving a course and pointing to another course indicates that the first course must be taken prior to taking the second course. Below all the years is a section containing a collection of courses that can be taken when convenient for the student and therefore no particular semester is recommended. All students may have some variation in degree plans, be sure to be communication with your academic advisor.

*Students wishing to petition a technical elective course must reach out to their advisor before the course begins*

Students wishing to seek an exception to the requirements for their major course of study are required to prepare and submit a petition for review and possible approval. Exceptions include taking courses at other universities for the purpose of substitution for required MME courses. Students are encouraged to obtain approval for substitution of transfer courses prior to enrolling in the course to be transferred. Visit www.transferology.com to verify if courses will transfer.

Students are responsible for initiating petitions. Petitions should be prepared in consultation with the academic advisor. Petition forms are available in the department office. They must be properly completed, have all supporting materials attached, and be signed by the student’s advisor. Petitions are submitted to the department administrative assistant. The administrative assistant logs the petition and then passes it on to the Petition Committee chair. The Petition Committee meets in a timely fashion and rules on each petition received. The student and faculty are notified of decisions in writing by email. Questions should be directed to the student’s advisor, the petition committee chair, or the department chair.

All courses that are used to fulfill requirements of the major must be taken for a letter grade, including those in CHM, PHY, MTH, STA, ECE, ENG, and ECO. Courses that may be taken credit/no-credit (C/NC) are Miami Plan electives. For example, the Miami Plan Foundation IIB-Humanities course may be taken C/NC since there is a list to choose from and no specific course is required for any MME major. However, the Miami Plan Foundation IIC-Social Science course is specified to be ECO 201 for all MME majors and must be taken for a letter grade. To receive credit for a C/NC course, you must receive a D- or better. Courses taken on a C/NC basis are not included in your GPA. Miami policy stipulates that no more than 10% of your coursework can be taken C/NC. You must declare your intention to take the course credit/no-credit before 20% of the class meetings have occurred. Visit the OneStop for more information.

Students should be knowledgeable concerning the rules, definitions, and procedures governing academic integrity/academic dishonesty. See the Policy Library for information regarding Miami’s Academic Integrity policy and procedure.

The student grievance procedure is in accordance with MUPIM Section 5.5 and Section 1.7 of the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Handbooks:
The departmental grievance procedure is as follows:

• The student submits a written, dated, and signed complaint to the department chair
• The chair convenes the department academic grievance committee. This committee consists of three faculty members, one of whom is designated as the chair.
• The grievance committee will verify that full discussions among the student, instructor and department chair have been exhausted as a means of resolving the grievance, determine hearing procedures, and hold hearings to determine the facts.
• Committee recommendations will be in accordance with those discussed in Section 1.7 of the respective student handbook.
• The department chair receives recommendations from the committee and communicates them to the student and instructor.
• The department chair maintains communication with the divisional grievance committee, and retains documents of the entire incident.
