Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology and Energy Engineering Technology may be completed at the Bradford campus. All other B.S. degrees in Engineering would be completed by starting at the Bradford campus, successfully completing the prerequisites to the junior year, and being accepted for Relocation to the Swanson School of Engineering in Pittsburgh to finish the degree.
An entering freshman must meet one of the following requirements to be admitted directly to the full Engineering curriculum at Pitt-Bradford.
- SAT Math score of 500 or better, or
- SAT Math score of 450 or better and high school GPA of 3.25 or better.
For those students who want to major in Engineering but do not meet either of the above requirements there is placement testing available and the ALEKS Math Bridge program. The ALEKS program is an opportunity for qualifying students to refresh their skills over the summer via a guided math learning platform. Upon completion of the ALEKS modules, you may then retake the Accuplacer math placement exam and potentially change your math placement based on those results.
Note:
Progression to the engineering program is dependent upon successful completion of above coursework with a minimum GPA of 3.00.
Students must complete a minimum of 34 credits at Pitt-Bradford with a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher before they are permitted to apply for relocation to the baccalaureate degree program at the Swanson School of Engineering in Pittsburgh. The first year of study is common to all engineering majors. Students pursuing bioengineering must relocate to the Swanson School of Engineering after completing 34 credits with a GPA of 3.50 or better. Students pursuing industrial engineering must relocate to the Swanson School of Engineering after completing 36 credits with a GPA of 3.00 or better. Mechanical and Elecrical Engineering students must complete 2 years with a GPA of 3.00 or higher.
Students who have a verbal SAT score below 500 are required to complete ENG 0101 , English Composition I and may be placed in ENG 0100 if their score is lower than 440. Students who have a math SAT score below 500 are required to take the following courses:
The second year of study
The second year of study initiates course work in a specific engineering major. Following are the outlines of courses for:
Please be advised
Please be advised that some programs or courses of study require that students complete rotations, fieldwork, internships/externships, and/or teaching assignments at facilities external to the university, while other programs or courses of study may offer voluntary internships or externships at facilities external to the university. Depending on the program or course, such facilities will or may require a criminal background check, an Act 33/34 clearance (if applicable), and perhaps a drug screen to determine participant qualification or eligibility. Additionally, in order to become licensed, many states will inquire as to whether the applicant has been convicted of a misdemeanor, a felony, or a felonious or illegal act associated with alcohol and/or substance abuse.
