Comments:ME 4349 & ME 4356 - Dr. McErlean is an expert in his field with an awesome teaching style. He's a fun older gentleman who is kind and considerate to his students and his quick wit always makes class fun. His lectures are mostly PowerPoint based and he posts them on Canvas but I'd recommend not skipping and showing up just to get to know the guy and listen to his humor. There are three "quizzes" (read: exams) that are open-note, open-Internet and he gives you a day and a half to do them. There are also homeworks for each lecture but they aren't difficult - for 4349 we did a problem or two twice a week through McGraw-Hill Connect, and for 4356 they were simple problems to be done on paper and submit through Canvas. Don't underestimate this kindly gentleman's knowledge, though - he's an Air Force veteran, a former NASA engineer, and has worked on almost every warplane with an F- designation since the 1950's. I highly recommend taking one of his classes - it's an experience! - Grade In Class:A
