SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the requirements for a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (M.S. in M.E.) with an emphasis on aerospace engineering. The student needs to complete 30 units total, including 21 units of electives at the 500-600 level. It is confirmed that electives can be taken from various fields such as Mechanical Engineering (ME), Aerospace Engineering (AE), and Civil Engineering (CE), with specific courses at Purdue University providing cross-credit between AAE and ME, particularly in aerodynamics and propulsion.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of graduate degree requirements in engineering
- Familiarity with course numbering systems (500-600 level)
- Knowledge of interdisciplinary course credit policies
- Awareness of aerospace engineering fundamentals
NEXT STEPS
- Research Purdue University's AAE and ME graduate curriculum specifics
