An Overview of the Mech-E
Curriculum
Mechanics of Materials 650:291
• How materials react to forces
• Stress, Strain, Axial & Shear Loads
• Material Deformation
Elements of Electrical Engineering 332:373
• Analyzing circuits and responses
• MechE analog to Principles of Electrical Engineering (PEE)
• General overview of electrical engineering
Thermodynamics 350:351
• Study of heat and energy flows
Design of Mechanical Components 650:342
• Study of fatigue, fracture, and other characteristics of
mechanical devices
• Follow up class to Mechanics of Materials
Fluid Mechanics 650:312
• Study of fluid flows, pressures, and control volume analysis
Measurements 650:350
• Study measurement devices and statistical methods
• “Lab Components” of classes that didn’t have labs
– i.e. Fluids, Thermo, MechMat, etc.
• Statistics oriented
Closing Points
• DO YOUR HOMEWORK
• Study with your friends
• Get the solution manual and practice other problems
• Read the book!
MAE Concentrations
• Mechanical engineering is a very broad field
• The SOE offers additional certificates beyond your normal
Bachelors in Mechanical engineering
– Aerospace*
– Energy
• Extra requirements:
– Three electives in the chosen field
– A concentration-specific senior lab
Additional Requirements
Technical Electives
• Must take two
• Full list on the MAE
website
• All departmental electives
can count
• Linear algebra (640:250),
statistics (960:211) and
research are popular
Humanities Electives
• Microeconomics and
Expository Writing are
mandatory
• Must take an additional
four of your choice
– Two must be 300 level or
higher
• Economics and
psychology courses are
popular
– Some people also get
minors as well
Where will MAE Take You?
• Management vs. Technical Positions
