Students from undergraduate programs that are not accredited by ABET must have a minimum GPA of 3 and meet the GRE requirements for electrical engineering. You must have earned a grade point average of 90 percent (720) or higher on the quantitative portion of the GRE General Test and have completed your last two years of undergraduate coursework with a GPA of at least 5 (on a four-point scale) or with distinction.
GRE requirements for mechanical engineering are verbal 400, quantitative 750, and analytical 4. 0+ Minimum scores iBT 80, pBT 550, cPT 213.
Successful applications for industrial engineering will stand out by having a very high quantitative GRE score. The average GRE score is 452 verbal, 772 quantitative, and 3 points. 8 analytical writing (Ph. D. students) and 464 verbal, 750 quantitative and 3. 9 analytical (master students), but admissions decisions take into account the entire application file. The minimum IELTS band score required by ASU is 6, and the TOEFL minimum score requirement is above 550 (paper) or 80 (iBT). 5 with no individual band below a 6. 0.
