The interdisciplinary minor in engineering science allows students in the College of Liberal Arts to obtain a broad overview of four engineering disciplines plus an in-depth study of one aspect of engineering. Five courses are required and distributed as follows:
One half-credit course in each of four engineering disciplines: chemical and biological, civil and environmental, electrical and computer, and mechanical.
Two one-half credit courses: Engineering 1 (Introduction to Computers in Engineering) and Engineering 2 (Engineering Graphics).
Two courses to be selected with the assistance and consent of a minor adviser. These courses must demonstrate a coherent progression in subject matter. The first one must have either a laboratory or design component that will be continued as an independent project under the CIS 95, 96 designation. (See Interdisciplinary Minor Program for details.)
