The master's degree is rapidly becoming the leading technical level at which engineers practice their profession.  The Sequential Graduate/Undergraduate Program (SGUS) in Mechanical Engineering affords students the opportunity to begin graduate studies during their Senior year.  By double counting 9 credit hours, students can earn their Master of Science in Engineering degree with only 21 additional credits over two terms.  This program is available only to students enrolled at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus in the College of Engineering.  

Admission Process

During their junior year, students will work with the Undergraduate Program Advisor to fill out the Intent to Enroll Form for provisional admission into the Program.  The purpose of the Intent to Enroll Form is to outline a preliminary course of study enabling the student to make appropriate course selections.

At the time of application into the SGUS Program, students must have a minimum 3.6 cumulative GPA.  They must be within 6 credits of completing their undergraduate degree to enroll in the MSE Program (Fall or Winter Terms only).  They must submit a completed Rackham Graduate School application, which includes the SGUS Intent to Enroll Form, 3 reference letters, a transcript, statement of purpose and an application fee.  SGUS applicants are not required to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).  Approval for enrollment in the MSE program is required from the Graduate Program Chair.

SGUS is an integrated program that facilitates the completion of a Master's Degree with two semesters of study beyond that required for the Bachelor's Degree.  Macromolecular Science and Engineering presently offers the SGUS degree option in conjunction with the undergraduate departments of Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Physics.

Course Requirements

SGUS students are allowed to satisfy some of the requirements for an M.S. degree while completing the requirements for the B.S. degree.  A maximum of nine hours of credit can be double counted for both degrees.

Students may substitute any course that meets the requirements of both programs.  In general, this will correspond to any senior level courses or above (courses numbered 400 or higher) taken in the undergraduate department.

Eligibility:

Students who are interested in the SGUS program can begin to follow the recommended curriculum for their particular area of study as early as their sophomore year.  There are also seminar courses and a research symposium that a student can become involved in before they are officially in the program. 
Students must have a GPA of 3.2 or higher and must have obtained
Senior standing (85+ hours) by the time of entry.

Application Requirements: Interested applicants should contact the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Coordinator for details.

A sequential Graduate/Undergraduate Study Program  (SGUS) is offered through the Automotive Engineering Program.  This program leads to the Master of Engineering in Automotive (M. Eng. in Auto.) sequentially with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) through the Mechanical Engineering Department (MECHENGR).

The SGUS program follows the standard SGUS template approved by the College of Engineering.  In addition, SGUS applicants must:

• Have completed 80 or more credits of course work with a 3.6 GPA or better.

Engineering Global Leadership (EGL)
Honors Program

The Engineering Global Leadership Program (EGL), is an exciting honors program for those students with strong GPAs who enjoy learning foreign languages, and studying other cultures. This honors program is designed to maximize and focus free electives, language, humanities, and social science courses around a region of economic importance to the US. In addition, EGL students are required to take business courses and complete a practical experience to place technical knowledge in an industrial context. This honors program is very rigorous (full class loads every semester and maintenance of a high GPA) but EGL students graduate with both a BSE and a Master's degree and tend to have higher starting salaries than other engineering undergrads. For more details please see page 60.
