加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的机械工程学士/理学士课程相结合，旨在为我们的机械工程学本科生提供更多的学习机会，而不仅仅是单身汉的课程。可以预见，BS / MS毕业生将受到行业的高度追捧，并将有更多机会进入顶尖的学术博士学位课程。构造组合的BS / MS程序，以便获得组合的BS / MS学位所需的单元数将与分别获得BS和MS学位所需的单元数相同。做出规定以确保计入BS学位的课程不会计入MS学位，反之亦然。拟议的学习计划与UCSB工程学院目前提供的其他5年制BS / MS组合学位相似，例如计算机工程，计算机科学和电
The combined BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering program at UC Santa Barbara seeks to prepare our undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students more deeply and broadly than the Bachelor's program alone. It is envisioned that BS/MS graduates will be highly sought-after by industry, and will have improved chances to enter top academic PhD programs.<br><br>This is a project-based Masters program. A distinctive feature of the program is the possibility to select graduate courses in several areas of emphasis in our current ME graduate program, as well as the ability to receive an optional initiation into business education through the UCSB Technology Management Program(link is external) (TMP). <br><br>The combined BS/MS program is structured so that the number of units required to obtain the combined BS/MS degrees will be the same number of units required to obtain the BS and MS degrees separately. Provisions are made to ensure that courses counted toward the BS degree will not be counted toward the MS degree, and vice-versa. The proposed program of study is similar to the other combined BS/MS degrees currently offered by the UCSB College of Engineering, such as those in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering.
