1 These required courses may be taken in any order in the academic year shown (or in a previous year) given the pre-requisites are met.
2 Choice of ENGR 1200 , ENGR 1400 , or CIVL 1200 ; ENGR 1200 is preferred for Aerospace Engineers.
3 The five HASS Electives may be taken in any semester; it is recommended to schedule one in each of the first two semesters and one in the Arch Summer. Students are required to schedule a HASS Inquiry course during their first year; for a listing of HASS Inquiry courses go to https://info.rpi.edu/hass-inquiry. Students should complete a HASS Communications Intensive course during their first three semesters; refer to the link “Communications Intensive (CI) Requirement” on the Registrar’s “Academic Planning” web page. Students are recommended to complete their Pathway by the end of their fifth semester; for a listing of HASS Pathways go to https://info.rpi.edu/pathways.
4 Any 1 credit engineering exploration elective (“Introduction to [major]”) may be substituted.
5 Choice of ENGR 2050 or MANE 2220 ; both have ENGR 1010 embedded in them.
6 These courses may be taken in the Arch Summer semester (if the summer schedule permits).
7 For a list of courses that satisfy the Professional Development – Technical Issues & Solution requirement refer to the link “Professional Development Courses” on the Registrar’s “Academic Planning” web page. It should be completed before the capstone design course.
8 These three laboratory courses may be taken any semester in the junior or senior year, provided all prerequisites have been completed.
9 Aeronautical Engineering students should start planning for their Flight Mechanics/Capstone Design track prior to the Arch summer.
- Fixed-Wing track. Plan to take MANE 4090 junior or senior year fall semester. Plan to take MANE 4230 senior year spring semester. Flight Mechanics is a prerequisite for Air Vehicle Design, though in select cases it may not need to be a prerequisite with the instructor’s permission.
- Rotorcraft track. In the junior or senior year plan to take either MANE 4120 in fall of an even-year orMANE 4130 in fall of an odd year. (Interested students may choose to take both, applying the second to the Aerospace Technical Elective and/or Free Elective credits.) Plan to take MANE 4210 senior year spring semester. One of either Helicopter Aerodynamics and Performance or Multirotor Aerial Vehicles or MANE 4090 must be taken as a prerequisite to VTOL Aircraft Design, though in select cases it need not be a pre-requisite with the instructor’s permission.
10 Choice of MANE 4140 (spring only), MANE 4240 (fall, spring, and summer), or MANE 4280 (fall only).
11 Choice of MANE 4090 , MANE 4120 , or MANE 4130 .
12 Choice of MANE 4210 or MANE 4230
13 These five Mechanical Engineering requirements (17 credits) are required for the dual major. They may be taken in any order as long as MATH 4040 is during or after MANE 4030 . Choose the order you take these courses based on how you might apply the knowledge in your capstone design course.
