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.

One of the courses you should take is mechanical vibrations. In fact, this might be a required course in your curriculum.

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.
