However, MECE E1001 is strongly encouraged. 2 May substitute Physics Lab C1493 (3), C1494 (3), or W3081 (2). 3 May substitute BIOL W2001 or higher. Those remaining points of electives are intended primarily as an opportunity to complete the four-year, 27-point nontechnical requirement. Consistent with professional accreditation standards, courses in engineering science and courses in design must have a combined credit of 48 points. Students should see their advisers for details. Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam The FE exam is a state licensing exam and the first step toward becoming a Professional Engineer (P.E.). P.E. licensure is important for engineers to obtain—it shows a demonstrated commitment to professionalism and an established record of abilities that will help a job candidate stand out in the field. Ideally, the FE exam should be taken in the senior year while the technical material learned while pursuing the undergraduate degree is still fresh in the student’s mind. In addition to the FE exam, achieving P.E. licensure requires some years of experience and a second examination, which tests knowledge gained in engineering practice. For more information, please see www.columbia.edu/cu/mechanical/ misc-pages/FE_Exam.html. The Mechanical Engineering Department strongly encourages all seniors to take this exam and offers a review course covering material relevant to the exam, including a practice exam to simulate the testing experience. The FE exam is given in the fall and spring of each year. The review course is offered in the spring semester, concluding before the spring exam.

A thesis based on either experimental, computational, or analytical research is optional and may be counted in lieu of up to 6 points of course work. In general, attainment of the degree requires one academic year of full-time study, although it may also be undertaken on a part-time basis over a correspondingly longer period. A minimum grade point average of 2.5 is required for graduation. The M.S. degree in mechanical engineering requires a student to take a sequence of courses that shows a “clearly discernible specialty or concentration.” In consultation with his/her adviser an M.S. student can develop a concentration specifically tailored to his/her interests and objectives, and we refer to this as the standard track. Alternatively, M.S. students can pick from a set of predefined concentrations, or special tracks. Typical choices of concentration in the standard track include such subjects as mechanics of solids and fluids, thermodynamics, heat transfer, manufacturing engineering, robotics, kinematics, dynamics and vibrations, controls, and power generation. Nevertheless, the following guidelines must be adhered to: 1.The sequence of courses selected must not be haphazard, but rather show a clearly discernible specialty. 2.All courses must be at the graduate level, i.e., numbered 4000 or higher, with some 6000-level courses included. 3.Every program must contain at least one course in mathematics (APMA or MATH designators) or their equivalent, covering material beyond what the student has taken previously. It should appear early in the sequence in order to serve as a basis for the technical course work. 4.Out-of-department study is encouraged, but at least five courses should be in mechanical engineering. Rather than apply for the standard track, students can apply for a special track in either energy systems or in micro/nanoscale engineering. The requirements for a special track are identical to those of the standard track, with one exception: a special track student must take at least 15 of his/her points from a list determined by a special track adviser in consultation with a special track advisory committee. The name of the special track will be listed on a student’s transcript. The currently available special tracks are listed below. M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with Concentration in Energy Systems Advisers: Profs. Daniel Attinger and Vijay Modi The concentration in energy systems provides the M.S. candidate with a global understanding of current energy challenges. Advanced thermofluidic knowledge is provided to design and optimize energy systems, with a strong emphasis on renewable energies. Courses related to energy and environmental policy, two strong areas of Columbia as a global university, can be integrated into the course sequence. This concentration is a suitable preparation for careers in energy production and energy consultation. Requirements: While satisfying the general mechanical engineering requirements, take at least five courses from: MECE E4211: Energy: sources and conversion MECE E4302: Advanced thermodynamics MECE E4312: Solar thermal engineering MECE E4314: Energy dynamics of green buildings SEAS 2009–2010
