Mechanical Engineering Minor (MEGN)

Program Requirements

Students must complete at Western Michigan University the following five courses with a minimum grade of “C”:

ME 2320 - Thermodynamics I Credits: 3 hours
ME 2500 - Materials Science for Engineers Credits: 3 hours
(ME 2615 prerequisite will be waived)
ME 2580 - Dynamics Credits: 3 hours
(Or ME 3600 - Control Systems, for students who receive credit for Dynamics in their major)
ME 3560 - Fluid Mechanics Credits: 3 hours
ME 3650 - Machine Design I Credits: 3 hours
(EDMM 1420 prerequisite will be waived)

Advising

The five required courses have prerequisites in sciences, mathematics and engineering. Interested students should meet with a mechanical engineering advisor to plan a path to the minor degree. Since the sequence of study may take five semesters, we recommend scheduling a meeting with an advisor not later than in the third semester of study.
