The minor, administered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and offers a broad introduction to mechanical engineering.
Interested students should contact the Mechanical Engineering Chair, Dr. Christopher White.
Academic policies related to Minors.
Credit toward the minor will only be given for courses passed with C- or better, and a 2.00 grade-point average must be maintained in courses for the minor.
- Courses taken on a pass/fail basis may not be used for a minor.
- No more than 8 credits used to satisfy major requirements may be used for the minor.
- No more than 2 courses or 8 credits may be from transfer coursework. Any transferred coursework must be approved by the minor coordinator.
