The Mechanical Engineering Minor

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a minor in Mechanical Engineering. The minor requires four upper level courses in Mechanical Engineering, plus any freshman or sophomore courses in mechanical engineering, mathematics, or physics which are required pre-requisites for the upper level courses chosen. The detailed requirements are listed below:

Four ME courses at the 200 level or higher with a combined GPA of at least 2.0 in these four courses.

AND

One of four courses selected from the following list: ME 204 (Mechanical Design I), ME 211 (Computational Methods), ME 241 (Fluids and Thermal Sciences Laboratory), ME 242 (Solids and Materials Laboratory), and ME 251 (Heat & Power).

Prerequisites for upper level ME courses generally include MTH 161-164, and PHY 121-122 (or at least PHY 121). Some courses may also require ME 120 (Statics), ME 121 (Dynamics), or ME 123 (Thermodynamics).

The choice of the four courses and the determination of necessary prerequisites should be worked out in consultation with an ME faculty member. The current advisor for ME minors is Prof. Clark, Hopeman 329, x54078. For further information, contact Prof. Clark, Undergraduate Committee Chair, or Carmen Schlenker , ME Undergraduate Secretary (x54735, Hopeman 235).
