Civil Engineering students can choose to either broaden their background or attain in-depth coverage of a particular subject by enrolling in a Minor Program. Minors are coherent sequences of courses that may be taken in addition to the courses required for the BEng degree.
Minor programs normally consist of 18 to 24 credits, allowing up to 12 credits of overlap with a degree program. The real credit cost to the students is typically 9 to 15 credits, representing one semester beyond the BEng degree program. All courses in a Minor program must be passed with a grade of C or better.In particular, Civil Engineering students are most inclined to enrol in the following Minor programs:
-
Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) - Minor Arts (24 Credits)Offered by:Engineering - Dean's OfficeDegree:Bachelor of Engineering
Program Requirement:
Minor Adviser: Faculty Student Adviser in the Engineering Student Centre (Frank Dawson Adams Building, Room 22)
B.Sc.(Arch.), and B.Eng., students may obtain the Arts Minor as part of their B.Eng., or B.Sc.(Arch.) degree by completing 24 credits, as described below.
Students must select courses for this Minor in consultation with one of the Advisers indicated above.
All courses in the Minor must be passed with a grade of C or better.
Requirements
24 credits as follows:
a) At least two areas of concentration in the Faculty of Arts must be chosen, with a minimum of 6 credits in any one area.
b) At least 12 credits must be at the 300 level or higher.
In general, B.Eng. students may use courses from the Complementary Studies lists (Group A and Group B) in their program that are offered by the Faculty of Arts to satisfy some of these requirements. No more than 9 credits of these courses can be credited toward the Arts Minor.
