Undergraduate Minors

Amplify Your Opportunities

Undergraduate students can pursue a minor through any of the College’s departments and divisions. Minors complement a

degree by adding the in-depth study of a additional field to a foundational engineering degree. Students receive exposure to

supplemental engineering disciplines, faculty and research at a time when the demand for well-rounded engineers is growing.

Minors are noted on students’ transcripts and can be earned through the completion of five carefully selected courses

(20 credits). Two courses (eight credits) may overlap with your major.

DNA investigation, cell biology and biotechnology, biology and physiology, and tissue and organ analysis.

Computer Engineering:
Design tool development, automated computing, embedded and neural network systems.

Systems Engineering:
Robotics, sensor networks, automation, electrical grids, biological models, control systems.

Electrical Engineering:
Photonics, radar, electromagnetic energy, circuit theory, medical instrumentation and imaging.

Robotics, clean energy, design of automobiles, airplanes medical devices, and heating/cooling systems.

Biomaterials, nanomaterials, solid-state lighting, materials for energy and the environment.
