Integration in the WKU mechanical engineering program also includes anexperimental component and a professional component. The courses described here relateprimarily to the integrated delivery of the materials engineering topics within the program.However, as a result of the integrated curriculum, the courses also contribute to the experimentaland communications aspects of the curriculum. Mechanical engineering students with diverse academic backgrounds are introduced tothe fundamentals of engineering materials in both lecture and laboratory settings as freshman.That lab experience is then complimented in the sophomore year in a lab connected to the
