Eligibility and Academic Standards
Engineering undergraduates affiliated with all engineering majors are eligible to participate. Students intending to earn this minor should seek advice and pre-approval from the Undergraduate Office in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering before taking courses toward the minor. Pre-approval is required.
Students must earn at least a C in each course in the minor.
Course Requirements
Students must take MATH 2930, MATH 2940, and at least six courses beyond MATH 2940, to be chosen as follows:
- At most, one course may be chosen from each of Groups 1–4.
- At least three courses must be chosen from Groups 5 and 6.
- At most, one 2000-level course may be chosen.
- At most, one course may be chosen that is offered by the student’s major department.
Note: Students will not receive credit for both MATH 4200 (Group 1) and MAE 5790/MATH 4210 (Group 5) if both are taken.
