Engineering Minor
Description
Students pursuing a degree from outside the School of Engineering may choose to minor in engineering. Students in the School of Accountancy and the School of Business Administration may choose to minor in engineering with an emphasis in manufacturing through the Center for Manufacturing Excellence.
Course Requirements
Students interested in the engineering minor should acquaint themselves with the mathematics, chemistry, and physics courses that are typically prerequisites to engineering courses. The minor includes:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Select one of the following: | 3 | |
| Computer Science I | ||
| Programming for Engineering and Sciences | ||
| Programming in C++ | ||
| Programming for Chemical Engineering | ||
| Select at least six credits from the following: | 6 | |
| Statics | ||
| Mechanics of Materials | ||
| Introduction to Materials Science | ||
| Thermodynamics | ||
| Transport Phenomena | ||
| Fluid Mechanics | ||
| Electric Circuit Theory | ||
| Select nine credit hours of additional course work offered by departments within the School of Engineering | 9 | |
| Total Hours | 18 | |
- 1
with the exception of the following: CSCI 1000 Survey of Computing, CSCI 1001 Office Applications, CSCI 1003 Introduction to Computational Media;all 100-level Geol courses other than GEOL 1030 Earth Dynamics
A minimum grade of C is required in all 18 credit hours of applicable minor course work. At least 6 credit hours must be completed in residence. Exception: Computer science and geology majors from the School of Engineering are still eligible to have the engineering minor as long as said required 9 credit hours are earned from engineering departments other than their major.
For students in the School of Accountancy or the School of Business Administration who would like to obtain a minor in engineering with an emphasis in manufacturing, 18 hours of specialized course work are required. Also, the basic math and science courses would be specified within the minor as follows: MATH 2611 Unified Calculus & Analytic Geometry I-MATH 2612 Unified Calculus & Analytic Geometry II to satisfy their school math requirement; PHYS 2110 Physics for Science & Engineering I-PHYS 2120 Physics for Science & Engineering II plus PHYS 2111 Lab Physics for Science & Engineering I-PHYS 2121 Lab Physics for Science & Engineering II labs to satisfy their science/lab experience; plus the following required 18 credit hours: MATH 2613 Unified Calculus & Analytic Geometry III, ENGR 3130 Introduction to Materials Science, MANF 2510 Manufacturing Processes, MANF 2540 Continuous Flow/Layout, Accy/Bus equivalent of MANF 4500 Practical Problem Solving in Manf - Senior Design Team Course (as an accounting/business student team member), Accy/Bus equivalent of MANF 4510 Manf Design-Product Realization - Senior Design Team Course (as an accounting/business team member).
