This minor is for students NOT majoring in electrical engineering and/or computer engineering and provides fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering. This includes a variety of industrial applications involving electrical/electronic circuits and microprocessor systems. It combines a strong base in engineering science with project-based laboratory and design experience. 

A minimum g.p.a. of 2.0 overall is required for courses in the minor. None of these courses may be taken on a credit/no-credit basis.

Prerequisite: 13 hours
