The systems that mechanical engineers work with are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary, and engineers, particularly team leaders and engineering managers, need an understanding of electrical systems. Today, product design is viewed not as an assortment of problems in mechanics, electronics, hydraulics, and so forth, but as a systems problem, requiring a systems perspective.

This class helps provide a foundation for you to build on. You will continue, throughout your career, to update the knowledge you gain here. Since this course addresses approximately 10% of the FE material in mechanical engineering, a solid understanding of this course's content will help you perform well on the FE exam.
