Graduate academic standardsContinuing registration of graduate students is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance. It is the responsibility of the Committee onGraduate Programs (CGP) to monitor academic standards for graduate students and special graduate students in accordance with the Rulesand Regulations of the Faculty. It is the department's responsibility to inform students about individual department requirements andexpectations concerning academic performance. The Graduate Academic Performance Group reviews the academic records of all graduatestudents at the end of each term (including the summer session), giving particular attention to students with cumulative ratings below 3.5 to4.0, and students with U grades in thesis. Consideration is given to low grades and factors affecting a student's ability to meet therequirements for the degree program in which he or she is enrolled.

Recommendations for action by the GAPG are made by departmental graduate committees. Unless extenuating circumstances are found,students who are not making satisfactory progress towards a degree may be denied permission to continue or may be warned that withoutsubstantial improvement the following term, they may be refused further registration. In addition, departmental graduate committees mayrecommend to the GAPG that a student be allowed to register only for a less advanced degree.

All such recommendations shall be acted upon by the Graduate Academic Performance Group no later than its last regular meeting in the term

during which the deficiency in the students performance is recognized. The vote of the committee in each case shall be transmitted in writingby the Dean for Graduate Education to the student, the students department, and the Registrar.

Warnings and refusals approved by the committee are recorded by the Registrar for Institute purposes, but are not reported on transcriptsissued to other institutions and employers.

In order to receive federal financial aid under Title IV purposes, a graduate student is considered to be making satisfactory progress as long ashis or her cumulative grade point average exceeds 4.0, and if the number of terms of enrollment does not exceed five for a master's candidateor ten for a Ph.D. or Sc.D. candidate. Graduate students whose performance falls below this standard will be considered, for Title I V purposes,to be under GAPG review during the subsequent term. A student under GAPG review will be considered to be making satisfactory progress ifthe GAPG does not withdraw permission for the student to continue.

GradesGrades at MIT are not r igidly related to any numerical scores or distribution functions, that is, grades are not awarded sole ly according topredetermined percentages. As can be seen from the following grade descriptions, a student's grade in a subject is related more directly to thestudent's mastery of the material than to the relative performance of his or her peers. In determining a student's grade, consideration is givenfor elegance of presentation, creativity, imagination, and originality, where these may appropriately be called for.

Note that the MIT internal grading system includes plus (+) and minus (-) modifiers for use with the letter grades A, B, and C for all academicsubjects (except advanced standing exams). These modifiers are included on internal grade reports. However, they are not offi cially part ofstudent's grades, they do not appear on MIT transcripts, and they do not affect internally or externally reported grade-point averages.

Passing gradesGraduate students who satisfactorily complete the work of a subject by the end of the term receive one of the following grades.Note that in most departments and graduate programs, grades below B are normally considered to be unacceptable as a measure of progresstowards degree objectives.

AExceptionally good performance demonstrating a superior understanding of the subject matter, a foundation of extensive knowledge, and askillful use of concepts and/or materials.

BGood performance demonstrating capacity to use the appropriate concepts, a good understanding of the subject matter, and an ability to

handle the problems and materials encountered in the subject.

CMinimally acceptable performance for graduate work, demonstrating partial familiarity with the subject matter and some capacity to deal withrelatively simple problems, but also demonstrating deficiencies serious enough to make it inadvisable to proceed further in t he field withoutadditional work.


9/17

PWhen the use of the passing grade P is authorized, it reflects performance at the level A, B, or C, with the student graded on aP/D/F basis.

Non-passing gradesThe grades and notations used for subjects not passed or not completed by the end of the term are as follows.

FFailed. This grade also signifies that the student must repeat the subject to receive credit.

OAbsent. This grade indicates that the student was progressing satisfactorily during the term but was absent from the final examination, didnot turn in the final paper or project, and/or was absent during the last two weeks of the term. Like an F grade, an O grade carries no credit forthe subject, but the O grade can be converted to a grade of OX. Unsatisfactory performance because of absence throughout the term shouldbe recorded as F. The process to change O to OX requires a graduate studentpetitionand confirmation from an appropriate provider at MITMedical verifying that the student's condition warrants the change.

OXAbsence satisfactorily explained to and excused by the Dean for Graduate Education. The faculty member in charge of the subject will benotified when an O is changed to an OX. An OX carries no credit for the subject. However, the faculty member in charge must provide thestudent the opportunity to receive a credit-carrying grade. This may be done with or without the instructor requiring a make-up finalexamination or other additional evaluation procedure.

IIncomplete. The grade I indicates that a minor part (less than one-fifth) of the subject requirements has not been fulfilled and that a passing

grade is expected when the work is completed. The work is to be completed before Add Date of the succeeding term of the regular academicyear; however, the faculty member in charge, in negotiation with the student, has the right to set an earlier or later date for pedagogicalreasons or extenuating circumstances. The grade I for the term remains permanently on the student's record even when the subject iscompleted. A typical example of a "minor portion of the work required" might be a paper or a laboratory report.

If the work is not completed, the grade I will not be converted to any other grade. The student can petition the departmentalgraduate officerand the Dean for Graduate Education for an extension of the deadline. Such a petition is approved only under extenuating circumstances.When completion of the subject requires facilities that are normally but not continuously available, the work must be completed in the earliestterm in which the facilities are available. Grades for completion of incompletes are not usually recorded for individuals who are no longerregistered, though students receiving degrees have three months to complete an incomplete received in their final term.

JA notation assigned by the instructor for thesis work that has progressed satisfactorily, but has not been completed. The grade given upon

completion of the work in a later term also covers this term. The grade assigned on the completion of a masters or engineers degree thesis ofat least 24 units is given a weight of 24 units in the cumulative rating. The J grade may also be used for satisfactory completion of work in thefirst term of a subject that is to be continued into the following term. The use of the J grade for such subjects requires prior approval by theCommittee on Graduate Programs.

TTemporary notation. The grade T is used for subjects that cover the equivalent of one term's work, but are scheduled over parts of two

normal grading periods. Prior approval must have been obtained from the Committee on Graduate Programs for graduate subjects. Thisnotation is recorded only on the student's internal record. A permanent grade must be assigned when the subject is finished.

UA notation for thesis work that has not been completed and in which progress has been unsatisfactory. Grade given upon completion of thework in a later term also covers this term. Unless a student's progress improves significantly, the student may expect that grade to be failing.Such performance may lead to a dean's warning or, if not corrected, denial of permission to continue.

Other notationsThe following notations are also used on the academic record.

SNotation for credit awarded for work done elsewhere.

SANotation for satisfactorily completed doctoral thesis. Doctoral theses are not graded.

DRA notation to be used only on the student's internal record for a subject dropped after the fifth week of the regular term.

Cumulative ratingTo be recommended for an advanced degree, a student must meet the minimum requirements of graduate study and research, including ahigh cumulative rating. The cumulative rating of graduate students is computed from grades received in all subjects (excluding doctoral thesis)taken for credit as part of the student's graduate program (including registration as a special student). For a master's thesis, up to a maximumof 24 units is used in the computation of the cumulative rating.

The cumulative rating is computed by multiplying the grade points received in each subject by the total units assigned to that subject anddividing the sum by the total units. Grade points are as follows: A = 5; B = 4; C = 3; D = 2; F = 0; O = 0. Grades of I, P, S, SA, OX, T, and DRare not used in computation of a graduate student's cumulative rating, and the grades of J and U not until final grades are received.

Subject credits and designationsCredit units, which indicate a subjects time distribution, are represented by three numbers separated by dashes in the "Subject Listings"of theMIT Bulletin, (for example, 2-0-10). The number of units assigned for recitation and lecture appears first; for laboratory, design, or fieldworksecond; and for preparation, third. All of the units added together represent the total credit for the subject.

One unit represents approximately 14 hours of work. "Units arranged" indicates that units are specially arranged by the instructor.

In the list of subject descriptions, the year classification is indicated as "U" for an undergraduate subject and "G" for a subject offered primarilyfor graduate students. The "H" designation indicates an approved subject with higher graduate-level degree credit.

Grades

The work of all students on the Berkeley campus is reported in terms of the following grades: A (excellent), B (good), C (fair), D (barely passing), F(failure), P (passed at a minimum level of C-), NP (not passed), S (satisfactory, passed at a minimum level of B-), U (unsatisfactory), I (workincomplete due to circumstances beyond the student's control, but of passing quality), IP (work in progress; final grade to be assigned uponcompletion of entire course sequence). The grades A, B, C, and D may be modified by plus (+) or minus (-) suffixes.

A course in which the grade A, B, C, D, or P (undergraduate students only) is received is counted toward degree requirements. A course receiving thegrade S (graduate students only) is similarly counted unless otherwise specified in the course description. A course in which the grade F, NP, or U isreceived is not counted toward degree requirements. A course in which the grade of I or IP is received is not counted toward degree requirementsuntil the I or IP is replaced by grade A, B, C, D, P, or S.


12/17

Grade Points

Grade points per unit are assigned as follows: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F=none. When attached to the grades A, B, C, or D, plus (+) grades carryhree-tenths of a grade point more per unit, and minus (-) grades three-tenths of a grade point less per unit than unsuffixed grades, except for A+,which carries 4.0 grade points per unit as does the A.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

Your GPA is computed on courses undertaken in the University of California. Effective fall 2005,XB coursesundertaken atUC Berkeley Extensioncount toward your GPA. Grades A, B, C, D, and F are used in determining your GPA; grades IP, P, S, NP, and U carry no grade points and areexcluded from all grade-point computations. Grade I, if assigned before fall 1973, is included and is computed as an F; an I grade assigned fall 1973and later is excluded from computations.

Credits AssignmentEach course, except a few special courses, has a certain number of credits assigned to it depending upon its lecture, tutoria l and laboratory contact hours in aweek. Lectures/Tutorials: One lecture/tutorial hour per week per semester is assigned one credit. Practical : One laboratory hour per week per semester isassigned half credit. A few courses are without credit and are referred to as noncredit (NC) courses. Illustration: EEL101 Fundamentals of ElectricalEngineering; 4 credits (3-0-2)

4 credit course = (3 h Lectures + 0 h Tutorial + 2 h Practical) per weekEarning Credits

A letter grade, corresponding to specified number of grade points, is awarded in each course for which a student is registered. On obtaining a pass grade, thestudent accumulates the course credits as earned credits. A students performance is measured by the number of credits that he/she has earned and by theweighted grade point average. A student has the option of auditing some courses. Grades obtained in these audit courses are not counted for computation ofgrade point average. However, a pass grade is essential for earning credits from an audit course. Aminimum number of credits should be acquired in order to qualify for a degree and continuation on semester or session basis. The credit system enablescontinuous evaluation of a students performance, and allows the students to progress at an optimum pace suited to individualability and convenience,subject to fulfilling minimum requirement for continuation.Pre-requisitesEach course, other than 100 level courses, has another course or a fixed number of credits or both, specified as itspre-requisite. A student who has not obtained a pass grade, viz., A, A(-), B, B(-), C, C(-), D, NP, in the pre-requisiteor has not earned requisite number of credits will not be eligible to do that course.

9. Career Prospects

Mechanical engineers research, develop, design, manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices. They work on power-

producing machines such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines. They also develop power-using machines such as

refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, machine tools, material handling systems, elevators and escalators, industrial production equipment, and robots

used in manufacturing. Mechanical engineers also design tools needed by other engineers for their work. The field of nanotechnology, which involves the

creation of high-performance materials and components by integrating atoms and molecules, is introducing entirely new principles to the design process.

Computers assist mechanical engineers by accurately and efficiently performing computations and by aiding the design process by permitting the modeling

and simulation of new designs. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) are used for design data processing and for

developing alternative designs.


17/17

Mechanical engineers work in many industries, and their work varies by industry and function. Some specialties include applied mechanics; computer-aided

design and manufacturing; energy systems; pressure vessels and piping; and heating, refrigeration, and air-conditioning systems. Mechanical engineering is

one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers may work in production operations in manufacturing or agriculture, maintenance, or

technical sales; many are administrators or managers.
