Mechanical Engineering, Minor

This minor provides an opportunity for students to explore core aspects of mechanical engineering, including mechanical and thermofluid foundations, along with a technical focus into one of the mechanical engineering disciplines (mechanics, thermofluids, materials, and/or controls). This minor is not open to students majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.  Students are permitted to substitute one equivalent required course from another engineering major, to satisfy this minor.
