Program Description
The Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering offers a minor in mechanical engineering for students in other majors.
Please consult with your major academic adviser to understand how these courses may apply to the electives in your degree.
Program Requirements
The Minor requires students to take a total of 15 credits in Mechanical Engineering courses. Nine of these credits are in three core courses (selected from a list of four courses), while another six credits can be any AE-UY, ME-UY, or ROB-UY courses which are level 3 or 4. If a student has taken an equivalent course in their own major (e.g., Statics in Civil Engineering), that course will not count toward the Minor. In such a case, if this course matched a core course selection the student may need to complete an approved substitute core course. The total number of completed courses must always be at least 15 credits.
A minimum of nine credits toward the minor must be taken at Tandon. As many as six credits may be applied from an approved Study Abroad experience.
