<p>how do you like it?</p>
<p>I enjoy it a lot, i think the program is excellent. You can choose your own secondary field in mechanics, solids, fluids, materials, mathematics, bio-mechanics, experimnetal mechanics, computational mechanics… You also get to choose your own senior design electives. It’s a pretty flexible program if you know what you would like to do. The 400 level classes can be challenging initially, you do see quite a few graduate students from other departments in them as drsuba said. It’s a really good degree if you would like to get into research or teach, it also prepares you very well for grad school. I would probably go with mechanical engineering however if you’re not looking to go into grad school; i don’t think it is as practical as an undergraduate degree by itself when compared to a M.E. degree. Here’s a list of classes offered if you’re interested into looking into it, <a href=“http://courses.uiuc.edu/cis/catalog/urbana/2008/Fall/TAM/index.html[/url]”>http://courses.uiuc.edu/cis/catalog/urbana/2008/Fall/TAM/index.html</a></p>
