Semester Requirements
John Morelli, Minor Adviser
(585) 475-7213, john.morelli@rit.edu
The structural design minor broadens the learning experiences and professional opportunities for students by creating a focus in structural design and analysis of steel and concrete structure. It also introduces related design codes. This minor is designed to most readily accommodate students majoring in mechanical engineering technology or mechanical engineering. This minor is closed to students majoring in civil engineering technology.

Quarter Curriculum - For Reference Only
Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. The following content has been made available as reference only. Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.
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.
