Note:

Six (6) credits of prerequisites, CEE 2110 and CEE 3110 , are required to proceed with the minor. These courses are commonly taken within the College of Engineering and may be taken by any engineering student (CEE, CHE, ECE, ME) as required or elective courses in the respective curricula. As such these courses are not included in the minor.

Dr. Ben Mohr (CEE) and Dr. Chris Wilson (GBE) will serve as “Chair” for administrative purposes of this minor, in the event of course substitutions and/or curricular changes.
