Actually... They didn't. Intro to Circuits was a EE class, known colloquially as "Circuits for Non-Believers" and taught by EE profs. It was required in order to take ME/EE 351, Mechatronics (MEs and EEs and a few CSCs took that one), also taught by EE profs.

On the other hand, Dynamic Systems (AKA controls class) was taught by an ME prof who also taught vibrations.


Definitely talk to your advisers; they'll probably be able to point you in the right direction as far as electives and what required courses will "fit in" with what you're looking for. (All three of the above-mentioned courses were required for MEs where I went.)
