Selected courses from other engineering programs can serve as directed electives. Please discuss specific courses with your advisor before registering. At least one of your directed electives must be a mechanical engineering course.

 

Prerequisites

 

Be sure to check the course descriptions for prerequisite information in the University Catalog at www.latech.edu/registrar/bulletin/2006-2007/partiv.pdf. In particular, freshman and sophomore students should be aware of the MATH 240-244 minimum GPA requirement of 2.0 on all attempts to enter MEEN 334, MEEN 351, MEEN 381, and MEMT 313. A minimum GPA of 2.0 in MATH 240-243 is required for entry into MEMT 211.

 

NOTE: If your MATH GPA is below the requirement, please see the Cumulative Mathematics GPA Policy at www.latech.edu/coes/assets/engr_math_policy.pdf.

CO-OP, Internship, Summer and Full Time Positions

Remember that Spring Career Day will be held from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. in the Student Center on Thursday, February 8. Sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students are encouraged to attend. You must register at the Career Center in Keeny Hall 337 to attend. If you are a student who will be taking a light load next year because you are off-schedule with your courses, you might be a perfect candidate for a co-op position. Talk to your advisor about which quarter would be best for you to miss next year. Internships and co-op experiences enrich your education and provide valuable job experience that will make you more attractive to potential employers.
