Undergraduate Degree Programs

Computational Engineering Minor

This minor will give the students exposure to the fundamentals of programming and numerical methods, experience and skills in computer usage, and knowledge of applications from a range of different areas.

Course Work:

Students must take five three-credit courses from the list below to qualify for the minor. At most, one of these five can be a requirement in the student’s major. Some of the courses listed may not be offered every year, some may have pre-requisites that must be respected, and some are one-credit courses.
