To obtain an engineering minor, you need to complete a specific number of credits from a set of designated courses. For example, if you’re interested in the Engineering Business minor, you would take courses in engineering economics, accounting and finance, competitive strategy and people management, plus two additional courses. When you graduate, your minor will appear on your transcripts.
