Computer Engineering - Minor

The minor in computer engineering provides training in computer engineering beyond the training usually received by science and mathematics majors. It can also broaden the training of students majoring in other engineering and applied science fields to provide more depth in computer engineering. The goal is to introduce students to the fundamentals of computer engineering and introduce them to a more advanced field. Such skills are important to students who expect to participate in real world situations that increasingly involve computer engineering solutions. 

Requirements

The computer engineering minor requires a minimum of 20 credit hours.

A minor in computer engineering can be earned in conjunction with any CU Boulder major, except for BS degrees in electrical engineering, electrical & computer engineering and integrated design engineering-electrical emphasis. The computer engineering minor cannot be completed alongside the following minors: computer science, electrical engineering and signals & systems engineering.

Prerequisites

Students must complete one of these computing courses with a C- or higher before declaring the minor: ECEN 1310, CSCI 1300, ASEN 1320, APPM 3050, PHYS 2600 or similar.

Grade Requirements

A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 is required in the courses used to satisfy the minor requirements. Each individual course that is counted toward this minor must be passed with a grade of D- or higher (note that a minimum grade of C- is required in all prerequisite courses).

Residency Requirements

At least 9 credit hours for the minor must be taken on the CU Boulder campus.
