Is this minor good for a M E major? I kind of like the idea of hands-on work. That’s why I’m looking into it. I only need 3 extra credits (1 class) to get the minor, because half of the required credits are already required for M E major and the rest will just fill the electives.</p>
<p>If it sounds cool, go for it!</p>
<p>The description doesn’t do a good a job of describing the actual minor–the vast amount of buzz words makes my head hurt.</p>
<p>It looks to be a good choice for someone who wants to be specifically a design engineer for consumers.</p>
<p>holy goat humping a dog batman!! That’s exactly the kind of class I want to take!! Plus I’m going to be a M E too so hopefully my college offers that!</p>
<p>Is this a common minor? I mean “common” as in companies know what it is and I don’t have to explain it to them.</p>
<p>Son will be a senior mechE and is taking an elective class by this title. After two summers of engineering employment, he thinks this sounds very close to real-world projects. So I would think that employers might really value Product Realization as a minor if you can get it.</p>

<p>Well, no, but explaining it’s not a huge problem. Your major’s pretty traditional. You could get a minor in underwater basketweaving if you’d like, it’s not going to <em>hurt</em> you. If it’s something you think you’d enjoy, sign up for it! After explaining it to potential employers, they might even thing it’s pretty interesting, and valuable to what they do.</p>
