Architectural Engineering Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Minor in Architectural Engineering provides an interdisciplinary overview of engineering topics associated with building design and the study and practice of engineering. The Minor consists of technically challenging courses that rely on a series of prerequisites, as well as experiment-based and skill-development courses that can be taken without prerequisites.

Program Learning Outcomes

Students will:

Develop and demonstrate knowledge of foundational physics and math skills to apply to techniques of engineering design and engineering science
Demonstrate a basic physical intuition for engineering concepts by incorporating engineering as an integral part of the design process
Work with local and international communities to design solutions which best serve the needs of a partnering community
Gain knowledge of and exposure to design and engineering decisions creating positive change in the environment, both socially and ecologically

Minor Requirements (24 Units)

Students require a minimum GPA of “C” (2.0) to be awarded a Minor, which is then reflected in their transcripts.

Required (16 Units)

Note:

* MATH 109 and PHYS 110 students must receive a C- or better in each course. ARCD majors may substitute MATH 107 and PHYS 130 for MATH 109 and PHYS 110 , but must receive a grade of B- or better in each course.

Electives (8 units)

Complete two from the following:

Students responsible for prerequisites.

Optional Elective

The 1-unit Art + Architecture lecture series does not count towards program requirements.
