Design is a pervasive activity in all engineering disciplines.
Insuring quality, timeliness, manufacturability and marketability of
engineering designs is a crucial concern in product development. The
CIT designated minor in Engineering Design is intended to provide a firm
methodological basis for engineering design that will be broadly applicable
in all areas of engineering. The minor is intended primarily for engineering
undergraduates who want a broader and more formal foundation in design. The
requirements for the minor consist of two interdisciplinary design courses,
which emphasize design methodology, team work, and real-world problems, and
three elective courses in design. Of the three elective courses, at least one
should involve CAD and at least one 9 unit course should be outside the student's major.
The designated minor in engineering design is administered through ICES. The program contact is Susan Finger. Students undertaking the designated minor
can consult with the program advisor in their major department. For more details about course choices and advisors, please visit the CIT Design Minor page of our website.
