Areas of Concentration
Mechanical engineering students can select their elective courses among two technical electives and three general electives in various ways. Some of them may wish to cluster those electives in ways that would help them gain expertise in an area of specialization within mechanical engineering. The following groupings are possible specialty (concentration) areas that students can select from within the mechanical engineering program:

Aerospace Engineering
ME 545 Introduction to Aerospace Engineering and two courses from the following:
ME 423 and ME 424 Senior Design Project
ME 453 Advanced Fluid Mechanics
ME 520 Analysis & Design of Composites
ME 546 Introduction to Turbomachinery

Automotive Engineering

Minors
Students from other engineering programs may pursue a minor in Mechatronics by taking the required courses indicated below. Enrollment in a minor program means that you must also meet Stevens’ requirements for minor programs. Only courses completed with a grade of "C" or better are accepted towards the minor.

Requirements for a Minor in Mechatronics
ME 225 Dynamics
ME 358 Machine Dynamics and Mechanics
ME 483 Control Systems
ME 509 Mechatronics I
ME 551 Microprocessor Applications in ME or ME 523 Mechatronics II or
ME 573 Introduction to Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS)
