The minor focuses on structural design and the analysis of steel, concrete, and wood. The minor also explores building codes as they relate to design.
Students from outside the civil engineering technology program with majors in mechanical engineering technology or mechanical engineering would benefit from the minor. The minor is not limited to students in these fields of study, but there are some technical prerequisite courses.
