TERM OFFERINGS IN MECHANICAL AND AEROSPACE DEPARTMENT
2025-2026 yearly schedule (Updated 08/27/2025)
Subsequent updates to individual courses are noted next to the course
*Subject to Change*
All students are advised to plan out their own individualized schedule. Especially students who have started upper division course work (100-199). Please refer to the Class Planning Tips link to get started on planning a schedule!
NOTE: The MECH&AE Department ENFORCES all requisites for their courses through MyUCLA enrollment.
This means you MUST complete the requisite BEFORE being allowed to enroll in a course.
Students are also encouraged to review the latest Samueli Announcement every Fall quarter (October) on HSSEAS Announcements. The announcement will contain requisite information, term offerings, and approved electives list for the AE and ME majors.
