  3. Main Differences between 2021 and 2022 • Class of 2021: • Choice of computer programming elective • Thermo/fluids: ME2124 (C-, 2 cr) + ME3124 (3 cr) + ME3404 (3 cr) (8 credits total) • Take ME3514 (system dynamics) plus controls or vibrations (6 credits total) • ME3614 is 3 credits • ECE3254, ME4006 are required • 15 credits tech electives (max 6 credits from List #2) • 131 credits to graduate • Class of 2022: • ME 2004 (C-, 3 cr) is the ONLY programming course • Thermo/fluids: ME2134 (C-, 4 cr) + ME 3414 (4 cr w/lab) (8 credits total) or 3 old courses (8 credits total); thermo & fluids will be prerequisites for heat transfer (ME3304) • Take system dynamics, vibrations, and controls (w/lab): 2 new courses (8 credits total) or 3 old courses (9 credits total) • ME3624 includes lab (4 credits) • ECE3254, ME4006 not required (ME4006 replaced with 1 credit tech communications class, ME3034) • 12 credits tech electives (max 3 credits From List #2) • 129 credits to graduate

  4. Programming Course Class of 2021 must complete: Approved programming elective Can take ME 2004 as a List 1 technical elective IF completed programming elective Fall 2018 or earlier Class of 2022 must complete: ME 2004 (C- minimum), even completed a different programming elective Previous programming elective will count as a free elective unless otherwise specified on technical elective list Notes: • ME 2004 includes numerical methods using MATLAB for engineering applications • We will not accept transfer credit for ME 2004 as it is a unique course to Virginia Tech

  5. Thermodynamics and Fluids If you have taken ME 2124 (C- minimum): Take ME 3124 and ME 3404 while they are still being offered; these three classes will work for either 2021 or 2022. • If you have NOT taken ME 2124 (C- minimum): • Take ME 2134, 4 credits (Fall 2019) (C- required) + ME 3414, 4 credits (Spring 2020) Note: We recommend taking MSE2034 during Fall 2019 to make room for ME3414 in Spring 2020. Note: • ME 2124 will no longer be offered after Spring 2019 • ME 2134 (thermodynamics) will be offered starting Fall 2019; a C- is required to meet prerequisite and graduation requirements. • ME 3414 (fluids w/lab) will be offered starting Spring 2020

  6. Dynamic Systems Class of 2021 must complete: ME3514 + (ME3504 or ME4504 or ME3534 (controls, 4 cr) or ME3524 (4 cr) + ME3534 (4 cr) Class of 2022 must complete: • ME3514 + ME3504 + (ME4504 or ME3534) or • ME3524 (4 cr) + ME3534 (4 cr) Note: • ME 3514 will not be offered Summer 2019 or after Fall 2019 • ME 3524 (4 credits) is a combination of System Dynamics and Vibrations. It will be offered starting Fall 2019. • ME 3534 (4 credits) is the new Controls course and includes a lab.

  7. Mechanical Design Class of 2021 must complete: ME 3614 (3 credits) or ME 3624 (4 credits w/lab) Class of 2022 must complete: ME 3614 (3 credits) + approved design elective or ME 3624 (4 credits w/lab) • Notes: • ME 3614 will be offered until Spring 2020 • ME 3624 will be offered starting in Spring 2020 • If a student graduating in 2021 takes ME 3624, the extra credit will count toward technical elective credit • The approved design elective list has not been finalized, but we expect it to include: ME3604, ME4614, ME4624, ME4664, ESM3054, ESM3064, and ESM4044.

  8. Technical Electives • Class of 2021: • If you completed your programming elective Fall 2018 or earlier, ME2004 is a List #1 tech elective (if space is available). • If you take the new 4-credit classes (example: ME3624 (mech design), ME3414 (fluids), ME3534 (controls) with labs), the extra credits are List #1 tech elective credits. • 15 credits tech electives required (max of 6 credits from List #2 (List #2 includes 4000-level undergrad research & independent study.) • Class of 2022: • Previous programming courses will be free electives unless specifically listed on tech elective list • ECE3254 becomes a List #1 tech elective • 12 credits tech electives required (max of 3 credits from List #2)
