I am enrolling for my final year in mechanical engineering. I am faced with a decision to choose two of these three courses; automatic control systems, mechanical vibrations, and manufacturing processes. I am wanting professional opionons on which courses could better prepare me for industry after I graduate. Also, material courses have been my least focused through college.

Thank you SteamKing, I figured vibrations is probably one of the more important. In regards to it being required, all three classes are electives for my program.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
