Engineering Science Minor

This minor provides a foundation in Engineering Science. Students are introduced to the physics background of engineering through two foundational courses, Calculus-Based Physics I (Newtonian Physics, Fluid, and Thermodynamics) and Calculus-Based Physics II (Electromagnetism and Optics). All students in the minor must take Dynamics, which is an intermediate level course in the application of Newton’s Laws to engineering systems. Students then must choose three intermediate level courses to become familiar with the analytical methods used in different types of engineering.

Minor requirements include:

Foundational Courses:

PS 131-132 - Calculus-Based Physics I - II or
PS 121-122 - General Physics I - II
PS 242 - Dynamics

Choose three of the following courses:

PS 231 - Modern Physics
PS 241 - Statics
PS 243 - Strength of Materials
PS 245 - Electrical Circuits
PS 346 - Thermodynamics
PS 347 - Fluid Dynamics

Note:

Prerequisites: Many of the courses listed for this minor require prerequisites in the Mathematics Department . Please check the catalogue for details.
