The name of
the degree awarded by the Program is “Bachelor of Science in Mechanical
Engineering (Aeronautical)”.
The current
graduation requirements for students entering the Faculty of Engineering in
fall 2009 or later is that they must complete 155 credit units with a
cumulative GPA of 2.75 (out of 5) or higher, and satisfy the curricular
requirements of the Mechanical Engineering (Aeronautical) Program. As
detailed in Criterion 5 of the present Self-Study Report.
Students whose GPA is lower than
2.75 but have otherwise fulfilled all other graduation requirements must retake
enough of the engineering courses in which their grade is lower than C to bring
their GPA up to the 2.75 minimum.
The typical study period is five
years. Students are expected to graduate after 10 semesters of study and one
summer internship term. Students are dismissed from the Program if they do not
fulfill the graduation requirements within a maximum of 15 semesters. Under
certain circumstances, the University Council may give the student an
exceptional opportunity to complete the graduation requirements beyond 15
semesters.
The process
to ensure and document that each student satisfies the graduation requirements
starts with the student submitting a “Request for Graduation” form
electronically on the Student Information System (ODUS Plus). The request is
automatically forwarded to their academic advisor, who checks whether all
requirements have been fulfilled. The academic advisor either approves or
rejects the request. In case the request is denied, the student is informed of
the reason(s). If the advisor approves the request, it is forwarded it to the
FOE registrar at the Deanship of Admission and Registration (DAR). The
registrar checks that all curriculum requirements are satisfied, that the total
number of credit hours has reached the minimum required, and that the student’s
GPA is at least equal to the minimum required by the Faculty. In this case, the
graduation request is approved. Otherwise, it is rejected, and the reasons for
rejection are sent to the academic advisor and the student.
The process
of ensuring and documenting that each graduate has completed the graduation
requirement is summarized in the following Figure
