Mechicanical Engineering Recomended Courses

In summary, for the Fall 11' semester, the major courses for a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering student include ME 211—Fluid Mechanics I and ME 325—Intermediate Thermodynamics. To prepare for the Spring 12' semester, two recommended courses from the list are CME 261—Materials for Manufacturing and CME 203—Strength of Materials.

I'm going into my 3rd year of Mechanical Engineering and for this Fall 11' my major courses are:
ME 211—Fluid Mechanics I 4
ME 325—Intermediate Thermodynamics 3

I need to add 2 more classes from the following list:

ECE 210—Electrical Circuit Analysis 3
CME 261—Materials for Manufacturing 2
IE 201—Financial Engineering 3
ME 250—Engineering Graphics and Design 3


which courses from above would better prepare me for the Spring 12' which I would be taking
SPRING 2012
ME 308—Mechanical Vibrations 3
ME 312—Dynamic Systems and Control 3
ME 320—Mechanisms and Dynamics of Machinery 4
ME 321—Heat Transfer 4
CME 203—Strength of Materials 3


Thanks for reading

There all good courses, but if you can pick only two, I would recommend:

CME 261—Materials for Manufacturing 2
CME 203—Strength of Materials 3 (it conflicts w/ my ME clases But could take it in Spr 12')
