The core requirements are

with a grade of “C” or better in each course.

• ME 20000 - Thermodynamics I
• ME 27000 - Basic Mechanics I
• ME 27400 - Basic Mechanics II
• NUCL 27300 - Mechanics Of Materials
• ECE 20100 - Linear Circuit Analysis I

And one of the following 7-credit hour elective requirements**

• ME 30900 - Fluid Mechanics
• ME 30000 - Thermodynamics II
• MSE 23000 - Structure And Properties Of Materials
• ME 35200 - Machine Design I
• ECE 20700 - Electronic Measurement Techniques
• ME 36500 - Measurement And Control Systems I
• ME 37500 - Measurement And Control Systems II

Note

Provided the 22 hrs are successfully completed with a grade of “C” or better in all of the courses, then a ME Minor will be awarded.

Generally, all of the above prescribed minor courses must be taken at the Purdue West Lafayette campus to be eligible for the ME Minor.  The only exceptions to this rule are as follows:

1. One equivalent transfer course from another university can be used if it is a core course and comes from an ABET-accredited program, OR
2. One equivalent Purdue substitution may be used if it is deemed equivalent to the prescribed minor course and acceptable by the School of Mechanical Engineering.

No more than one substitution from either of the above two categories is acceptable to be eligible for the ME Minor.

*Minimum Prerequisites and/or Corequisites include: MA 16500 , MA 16600 , MA 26100 , MA 26500  (or MA 26200 ), MA 26600  (or MA 30300 ); PHYS 15200 , PHYS 24100  (or 251) (totals 25 hours)

** To be eligible to enroll in upper-level (300 level or higher) ME courses, students must have achieved a grade of “C” or better on all of the core requirements.
