Recommended curriculum
MS students, even start year
MS students, odd start year
Consider taking ME 520 Seminar or research credits (as needed).
PhD students, even start year
PhD students, odd start year
Consider taking research credits (as needed) early on and taking no more than 2 courses (+ seminar) each quarter. If your controls/dynamics background is not strong, take ME 471/ME 469 in your first year to help with the qualifying exam.
