Minor The Minor in Structural Engineering is designed primarily for students in the College of Environmental Design to experience the engineering approach to the solution of design problems, but it is available to students from any department who meet the following prerequisites to apply: Understanding of material behavior for structural response and ability to describe such behavior with simple models Understanding of structures and methods of analysis Design of structures made of steel, concrete or timber These basic fundamental courses are complemented by additional courses in materials and construction and analysis; see below for a complete course listing. The minor offers to students of the College of Environmental Design access to the joint graduate MS/MARCH Degree of the two departments. With it comes the ability to practice either as an architect or as a structural engineer with a very thorough knowledge of the other field. Whereas engineering focuses on analytical methods for the solution of problems, the visual, socio-economical approach of architecture courses is an indispensable complement. The same is true the other way. Declaring the Minor To be considered for admission to the minor, students should satisfy the following: Have an overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 Have completed the lower division prerequisite courses with a GPA of 3.0 (for further information regarding the prerequisites, see the Minor Requirements tab on this page) Be able to complete...
