<p>Are you sure you can fit all the required classes for the degree in and fit under the unit cap? UCLA will only allow you to enroll for 216 units without special permission to exceed that limit. </p>
<p>After completing your freshman year I’m going to assume you have 40 units. You need 185 units to get a ME degree according to [B.S</a>. in Mechanical Engineering Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/curric-12-13/32curmech12.html]B.S”>http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/curric-12-13/32curmech12.html), and I’m guessing that the classes you took your 1st year won’t apply to anything listed on that page (although hopefully I’m wrong there). So you’re looking at 225 units to get your degree, maybe a bit more than that if you already have more than 40 units.</p>
<p>It isn’t impossible to go over 216, they can make exceptions, and maybe I have something wrong here, but before you go too far down this path you should check to make sure its going to be possible to earn your engineering degree.</p>
