Students desiring minors in Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences must consult the school or department in which the courses are offered to obtain further information and specific requirements.

Footnotes


  1. ENGR 1200 and ENGR 1300 may be taken in either order. ENGR 1300 may be replaced with ISYE 1100 Introduction to Industrial and Systems Engineering. ENGR 1200 may be replaced with ENGR 1400 Engineering Communications.
  2. This course is only offered in the spring semester.
  3. IME majors must take 4-credit course hours in one or more of these areas ASTR, BCBP, BIOL, CHEM, ERTH, MATH, IENV, or PHYS to satisfy the science elective requirement.
  4. IME majors must select one of the following restricted electives to satisfy the Management Elective:
    ECON 1200 Introductory Economics
    MGMT 1100 Introduction to Management
    MGMT 2300 Financial Accounting
    MGMT 4510 Invention, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship 
    MGMT 4520 Introduction to Technological Entrepreneurship
    ​​PSYC 1200 General Psychology
  5. For a list of courses that satisfy the Professional Development - Technical Issues & Solution requirement, refer to the link “Professional Development Courses” on the Registrar’s “Academic Planning” webpage. It should be completed before the capstone design course.
  6. This course is only offered in the fall semester.
  7. IME majors must complete 12 credits of technical electives from the following list.  A minimum of 6 credits must be in engineering (i.e., have an ISYE, ENGR, or other engineering discipline prefix).  Note that not all courses are offered every year
