At my college, thermo and fluids were in the ME department. But we EE’s thought it was somewhat unfair that we had to take the same thermo, fluids, statics and dynamics as the rest of the engineers, yet they got the dumbed down “Intro to EE’ course when we were taking the first two “real” EE courses (circuits).
At Purdue we took the same first course (EE201). The second course was dumbed down I guess since it had to do more with the type of stuff MEs would see in Electrical Engineering (granted you guys probably did not have much reason to do Dynamics after college). Those three one hour courses have since gone away as a requirement (I remember they had to do with diodes etc). The EEs now at Purdue only need to take one out of EE major engineering class (like Statics, Thermo, etc) - I remember my EE roommate did not need to take Dynamics (the only B he got was in Statics, but he sandbagged in protest - the guy was incredibly smart went on for a PhD.).
