The University of Alabama BSME distance degree program gives students the opportunity to obtain an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering with minimal travel or job disruption.

This program allows students to transfer credit from two and four-year institutions to the University of Alabama (UA) and complete the BSME degree. UA engineering courses can be taken via the internet; however, three courses have on-campus lab requirements which can be completed at the UA lab facility on the Troy Dothan campus or at The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The BSME degree earned in this format is identical to the degree earned by on-campus students at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

The BSME degree is one of the more versatile engineering degrees preparing students for involvement in all aspects of the manufacture of products. Students are trained in the science of designing a component, a machine, or a system in a process. BSME students pursue careers in many industries such as automotive, power generation, bioengineering, textiles, robotics, manufacturing, research & development, pulp & paper, steel & materials, petro-chemical and aerospace. Also, BSME graduates may pursue post-graduate learning in business, law, medicine, dentistry and other professions.

BSME distance courses comply with The University of Alabama semester calendar and are available in the fall, spring, and summer terms.
