General Engineering Minor

This curriculum is intended as a general engineering minor for students outside of engineering.

Declaring the minor is by application only; minimum of five courses required.

Students must complete the three prerequisite courses for the minor and achieve at least a 2.7 GPA in those three courses before applying to the program. In order to complete the minor, students must earn a GPA of at least 2.0 in the prerequisite and required courses.

Courses can be used to fulfill Gen Ed requirements.

Students will be advised by the Director of the Engineering Design Division.

Engineering Fundamentals

Advanced Engineering

Two Integrated Engineering and Design Projects courses — must have senior standing

All General Engineering Minors must sign up for Section 50 (Biomedical), 51 (Industrial and Systems), 52 (Mechanical), or 53 (Electrical & Computer Engineering) depending on the engineering major track. These courses are only open to non-engineering students admitted to the general engineering minor.
