Minor

A dual program from the Carter School and College of Engineering and Computing about using engineering principles to support conditions for peace.

Sustainable systems engineering is a technical, transdisciplinary field focusing on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles, with the goal of addressing climate change, energy, environmental, and economic sustainability.

A minor in Statistics gives students a background in the theory and application of statistical methodology. It is intended to complement undergraduate degree programs in the College of Engineering and Computing and the College of Science.

This minor gives students the fundamentals of systems engineering. Participants learn how to deal with the system life cycle and use scientific methods for analyzing the operations of a system or organization. The courses help students in technical fields prepare for the information technology work now common in public and private industry.

Students learn to apply IT to support business processes. The minor equips graduates with strong problem-solving, writing, and communication skills.

The minor provides students with a background in data analysis and statistical methodology. It is intended to complement undergraduate degree programs such as computer science, economics, environmental engineering, geography, mathematics, nursing, psychology, public administration, sociology, and systems engineering.

The minor in computer science is intended for those pursuing other undergraduate degree programs that feel the need to pursue computer science to complement their other studies.

The minor in Software Engineering teaches students to design and build high-quality software, a valuable asset for engineers, mathematicians, and scientists interested in working in a variety of fields that increasingly demand strong software writing skills.
