Seems pretty standard except you have a shitton of liberal electives for an engineering programme (which usually is only 2 in the freshman year).

Looks like your uni is pretty borderline having lost 2 of your programmes already though, or were they both actually discontinued and you literally only do MechE now? Weird. But anyway it seems you passed your visit already and have full accreditation until 2019.

Anyway because of the elective system the US universities usually gets away with not having all requirements in a fixed programme, because students "could" take them and the actually guidelines are often vague sentences that outlining that students should develop those skills "somewhere during the course of their studies", but most engineering departments do not interpret it as incorporating it into their own modules rather than taking it from other departments (I didn't learn any of that from electives either). You do have econ as a requirement though. Programmes usually have patent law, finance and business management mixed into "engineering management/economics" and design courses etc. Your department might be incorporating it in ME 350 for example, otherwise the accreditation committee didn't do their jobs.

One of my the people graduating with me has a sister doing a finance degree, she was surprised that we did the same shit she spent her senior year on in our eng econ module like DCF and risk analysis in decision making etc. Also bullshit like gant charts, project networks etc. in management.

It's boring drudgery, but the professional engineering brand is expected to know basic finance and management.
