| The Bachelor degrees in Mechanical, Industrial and Mechatronics Engineering are designed to provide top quality mechanical, industrial and mechatronics engineers. The engineering development skills are obtained through a series of project-oriented classes while the needed practical experiences are achieved through a dynamic collaboration between MEIE department and the industries in Oman and abroad. To graduate, a student is required to complete a total of 140 credit hours resulting in the award of a Bachelor Degree. The credit hours are allocated to University, College and Program requirements as summarized below |
 |
University Requirements (UR) 18
All students admitted in College of Engineering are automatically enrolled in the University Language Center Unit (LCU). In LCU students are examined in English language and placed in levels 1 to 6. If a student gets level 6 in English language, then he/she will enroll the college requirement courses. If a students gets below level 6, then he/she will have to enroll in intensive English language program. An ILETS examination is administered at the end of English language course. Students who pass level 6 are allowed to take college requirement courses. However, students achieving level 5 in English language are allowed to enroll university required courses in addition to language courses.

University electives are standard regular courses offered by any College in the University which the students may freely choose to take (subject to fulfilling pre-requisite requirements) but which do not form part of his or her College or specialization requirements and electives. They may not be restricted to a subset of courses at the College level. The course taken must not duplicate others already taken.
College Requirements (CR) 35
After successfully passing the English language test, students will be allowed to enroll in College Requirement courses. The College of Engineering requires students to complete 35 credit hours of courses which includes 17 hours of mathematics, 8 hours of calculus based physics, 3 hours of chemistry, 2 hours of introduction to engineering, 2 hours of workshops and 3 hours of programming. The office of Assistant Dean, Student Academic Affairs administers the college require courses.
Two mandatory industrial training courses are also part of college requirement but without any credit hours. Industrial Training I is conducted within the college workshop while Industrial Training II has to be done in an industry. The second course is planned in the Summer after the students complete their fourth year. These industrial training courses must be successfully completed by all students as part of their degree plan. Students are required to submit their training reports to the office of Assistant Dean for Industrial Training and Alumni for evaluation. Students are given a pass or fail based on their industry supervisor’s evaluation and their own report.

Program Requirements (DR) 87
Students select their major normally during their second semester of credit courses. At the time of application the total number of credit hours registered must not be less than 25. Deadline for submitting applications are announced by the Office of the Assistant Dean for Students Academic Affairs. Generally, admission into major is based on the student's preference. However, when there are more applications to a program than available spaces, selection is based on the CGPA. Subject to space availability, a student can apply to change from an engineering major if the change will not cause much delay in his/her graduation
