Electing another course as your major does not mean you cannot learn about civil and environmental engineering. From civil and environmental systems, civil engineering and environmental engineering science, the three minors offered by CEE will expand your horizons and your education.
The Civil and Environmental Systems minor is unique because it combines principles and knowledge from across civil, environmental and systems engineering into a hyper-concentrated study focused on both the built and natural worlds.
The Minor in Civil and Environmental Systems consists of the following subjects:
1.020 Engineering Sustainability: Analysis and Design
1.022 Introduction to Network Models
1.041 Transportation Systems Modeling
15.053 Optimization Methods in Business Analytics
1.101 Introduction to Civil and Environmental Engineering Design I
1.104 Sensing and Intelligent Systems
The Civil Engineering Minor offers subjects that reflect the wide extent of education that now encompasses the field, including solid and fluid mechanics, materials, and new labs.
The Minor in Civil Engineering consists of the following subjects:
1.035 Mechanics of Materials
1.036 Structural Mechanics and Design
1.050 Solid Mechanics
1.056 Introduction to Structural Design
1.060 Fluid Mechanics
1.101 Introduction to Civil and Environmental Engineering Design 1
1.104 Sensing and Intelligent Systems
The Environmental Engineering Science Minor makes the popular Traveling Research Environmental Experiences (TREX) fieldwork during the Independent Activities Period (IAP) a program requirement, because field research has proved essential to the CEE educational experience.
The Minor in Environmental Engineering Science consists of the following subjects:
1.018 Fundamentals of Ecology
1.060 Fluid Mechanics
1.061A Transport Processes in the Environment I
1.070AJ Introduction to Hydrology and Water Resources
1.080 Environmental Chemistry
1.091 Traveling Research Environmental eXperience (TREX): Fieldwork
1.106 Environmental Fluid Transport Processes and Hydrology Laboratory
1.107 Environmental Chemistry and Biology Laboratory
CEE has developed a joint major + minor degree track that brings together the CEE major (General Engineering, Course 1-ENG) with a Computer Science minor (Course 6) to give students a leading edge.
A proliferation of data and networked systems are creating more efficient and sustainable alternatives for infrastructure and transportation systems. The smart cities joint major + minor degree track prepares students with the skills and understanding to be leaders and developers of the future.
Design and manage large scale complex systems that can be applied to a number of domains, including supply chain and logistics; infrastructure sensing and control; and societal networks, among others. The systems engineering joint major + minor degree track prepares students with the modeling and decision-making principles required to develop and maintain successful systems.
Understand and model both small and large-scale ecosystems and the environment using analytical and numerical analysis. The environmental modeling analytics joint major + minor degree track prepares students with skills needed to tackle environmental challenges and to engineer solutions to major problems.
