Minor in Civil Engineering The purpose of the Minor in Civil Engineering is to give students with sufficient background in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, a fundamental understanding of the field of civil engineering. Civil Engineering Minor — 21 units Prerequisite Requirements 21 units The minor is intended for students who have satisfied the following prerequisite requirements.
MATH CHEM ENGR Although almost all minors offered at Vanderbilt University are available to civil engineering students, the more popular minors include:.
In addition, students interested in pursuing Architecture at the graduate level often participate in the Pre-Architecture Program and the student organization BLUEPrint. The engineering management minor is designed to provide a student majoring in an undergraduate engineering program with a working knowledge of the fundamentals of management and business.
Engineering management courses include such topics as accounting and finance, applied behavioral science, engineering economics, marketing, manufacturing and supply chain management, project planning and control, systems engineering, and technology-based entrepreneurship. A solid background in mathematics provides an excellent foundation for continuation of engineering studies at the graduate level as well as several other professions including law, medicine, or business.
A minor in economics provides additional study in a range of economic areas including micro, macro, financial, and managerial economics. Such additional background provides an excellent foundation for preparation of engineers for professional practice, business, and management positions. The minor in energy and environmental systems is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of the fundamentals of energy systems and their impact on the environment.
The future health and well-being of humanity hinge in large part on smart production and use of energy, water, and related resources, as these are central determinants of climate change, habitable space, and human and ecological health.
Additionally, completion of the minor provides sufficient technical background to pursue a MS degree in Civil Engineering or in Construction Engineering and Management.
Civil engineers design, plan, and improve the built environment and infrastructure systems, including buildings, power generation facilities, water supply networks, pollution control works, flood protection structures, dams, and canals, as well as vital network systems for commerce such as roadways, airports, railroads, and ports.
Civil engineering encompasses several subdisciplines, including hydraulics and hydrology, structural, geotechnical, construction, environmental, civil engineering materials, and transportation engineering.
