Mechanical Engineering Major (ME), BS

Requirements

Liberal Arts: 30 Hours

All majors at Harding are required to complete the 47-hour Liberal Arts program. The following Liberal Arts requirements are met within the content of the major:

Chemistry and mathematics satisfy 6 hours of Inquiry, Investigation, and Reasoning.
BIOL 3120 satisfies 3 hours of Inquiry, Investigation, and Reasoning and 3 hours of Self and Society.
ENGR 3100 satisfies 4 hours of Self and Society. According to Arkansas State Law, international students are required to take POLS 1787 , which will increase the number of hours for the major.

Recommended:

BDOC 2030 and BHIS 3040 or BHIS 3050 will count toward the Historical and Literary Perspective and reduce the number of required Bible/electives.
