UB - University at Buffalo, The State University of New York UB Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Important notice for undergraduate students entering the MAE Department

Acceptance Criteria: See the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences for acceptance information. Students may apply for admission to Mechanical Engineering when they enter the University as freshmen, as transfer students, or later in their academic careers.

To remain in Mechanical Engineering and to be permitted to take upper-level (300/400 level) Mechanical Engineering courses, students must satisfy the following requirements:

  • Successful completion of the following five courses with at least a 2.2 GPA: MTH 141, MTH 142, PHY 107, MAE 204, EAS 207. If a course is repeated, the grade that is counted is the grade earned the second time, even if this grade is lower than the grade earned the first time.
  • Minimum overall and UB GPA of 2.0 to be considered in academic good standing with the University.
  • UB MAE Research
