Hello, I've been studying mech engineering for the past 2 years but over the past month I've been reading about other people's ME program and I'm not sure if mine is good enough.

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me what subjects you took or are taught commonly during ME?

Also, sorry for my english, it's not my first languaje.
