Chapter 1(Pg 3,4)-What does it require to become an 

Mechanical Engineer?

Chapter 2(Pg 5,6)-What does a Mechanical Engineer 

do?

  To become a mechanical engineer you must complete a 

lot of courses, here are the courses you need to pass. 

Students must have a minimum of 382 units to complete 

the B.S degree. To start core mechanical engineering 

you must complete the following courses (21-120) 

Differential and Integral Calculus, (21-122) Integration, 

Differential Equations and Approximation, (33-106) 

Physics I Engineering Students.

  By the end of your sophomore year you should of 

completed these 8 courses (21-259) Calculus in Three 

Dimensions, (21-260) Differential Equations, (33-107) 

Physics II Engineering Students,   (09-105) Modern 

Chemistry I, (15-110) Intro/Intermediate Programming, 

(24-101) Intro to Mechanical Engineering, (24-200) 

Machine Shop Practice, (24-202) Introduction to 

Computer Aided Design. There are more but these are 

just the basic courses.

 Not only do you need classes to get into engineering 

you must have certain skills, here are what I think to be 

the most important skills.

Critical Thinking - Using logic and reasoning to identify 

the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, 

conclusions or approaches to problems.

Active Listening - Giving full attention to what other 

people are saying, taking time to understand the points 

being made, asking questions as appropriate, and not 

interrupting at inappropriate times.

 You must also have this important knowledge.

Design - Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and 

principles involved in production of precision technical 

plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.

Mechanical - Knowledge of machines and tools, including 

their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance.
