I had Civil Engineering I and II in my ME program. It followed
Statics
and
Design.

Out of curiosity.....where you in a 'college of enginneering' majoring
in
mechanical, or were you in a 'college of mechanical engineering'?....

BSME Purdue University 1993. It was the "Schools of Engineering"
Mechanical
Engineering degree. In April of this year, they renamed the "Schools of
Engineering" the "Colleges of Engineering". Purdue also offered a
"Mechanical Engineering Technology" (MET) degree...but I believe it was
offered by the Schools of Technology.

So you did get a 'real' mechanical engineering degree. :-)


Here's a link of the program I attended:

The CE classes I took were technical electives. I had a difficult time
visualizing the concepts of fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer. I
preferred things that I could visualize a little bit easier...like
Statics,
Dynamics, and Structural Design.

So the CE classes where not required.

I had the difficult time with Eng. Calculus and quantum physics.....two
area I never had and will never have a need for. :-)
