Advice for Senior Mechanical Engineering Course Selection

[Colby_OSU]

Hello all,

I am a Senior in Mechanical Engineering and I am in need of some advice for selecting some classes for the upcoming year. I need to select two of the three options listed below.

Mechanical Vibrations
Automatic Control Systems
Manufacturing Process

These three courses are electives for my degree, and I am having a hard time trying to figure out which ones would help me in Industry later on. Thank you all for any advice you may have.

It depends on what you want to do. I find industrial processes boring, so I would pick:

Mechanical Vibrations
Automatic Control Systems

I would make the same choice. I don't find industrial processes boring (in fact, quite the contrary), but the other two courses are more fundamental, and I place a high value fundamentals.
