ME Courses by Area of Interest

Here is a list of courses offered specifically by Mechanical Engineering that pertain to different research areas. These are not hard-and-fast categories; this is just a guide, and not an exhaustive list. You may also take courses outside of ME - for example in Electrical Engineering, Aeronautics and Astronautics, or other schools. Research-based students should always discuss with your advisor what courses are best for your degree and career goals.

All courses are offered on campus; if a course is also offered online, it will be indicated with a   icon. (Please note that not all courses are offered all semesters).
