Undergraduate Program
Bioelectrical Engineering Minor
A minor in Bioelectrical Engineering may be earned by a student in any University bachelor’s degree program. This minor provides students with an opportunity to integrate physiology and biological sciences with engineering aspects in signal measurement and processing. To qualify for a Minor in Bioelectrical Engineering, students must complete a minimum of 21 credits as described below with a minimum grade of C- in each course.

(a) BISC 208 cannot be substituted for BISC 207.
(b) It is understood that PHYS 201/207 is taken before PHYS 202/208.
(c) The listed 400 and 600-level courses are open to any student who has
completed requirements (1) and (2) and the necessary prerequisites (or obtained
permission of instructor).

MINOR IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING
The minor in Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) requires EITHER the successful completion of 15 credits in Computer or Electrical Engineering courses OR the successful completion of 12 credits in Computer or Electrical Engineering courses and the successful completion of MATH 242, CISC 181 or PHYS 208.
Students pursuing the minor can get advice from the ECE office or from the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department.
The minor is not available to students majoring in Electrical Engineering (ELEG) or Computer Engineering (CPEG).
Accomplishment of a minor in Electrical & Computer Engineering has many advantages but it must be understood that meeting the requirements for a minor in Electrical & Computer Engineering without fulfilling the remaining requirements for an accredited engineering degree does not provide the breadth and depth of knowledge required of an electrical or a computer engineer.
For students in other majors, such as Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or Computer Science, a minor in ECE will help expand their knowledge and capabilities and make them more desirable employees in many jobs.
Other Minors
MINOR IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
A minor in computer science consists of a total of 18 or more credits including:
CISC 106 or CISC 108 (3 cr)
CISC 181 (3 cr)
CISC 220 (3 cr)
CISC 275 (3 cr)
Six additional credits of CISC at the 200-level or above should be
chosen with the advisor’s approval. Note that the College of Engineering
requires a grade of C- or better in all courses counted towards a
minor.
MINOR IN MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
A minor in materials science and engineering requires the completion of 15 credits with a minimum grade of C- in all courses. MSEG 302 is a required course, and the remaining may be drawn from a wide variety of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry courses up to the 600-level. All courses used to fulfill the requirements of the minor must be approved by a materials science advisor. A listing of commonly offered courses is maintained by the Chair of the Materials Science and Engineering Department. Other materials courses may be approved as appropriate. For further information, contact Professor Ismat Shah at 302-831-1618; Ismat@udel.edu.
MINOR IN NANOSCALE MATERIALS
The Minor in Nanoscale Materials requires completion of 15 credits with a minimum grade of C-. MSEG 302 is a required course, and the remainder may be drawn from a wide variety of courses in nanoscience and engineering with the consent of the MSEG Nanoscale Materials minor coordinator. Courses from 300-level to the 600-level qualify. A course may be used only once between the Nanoscale Materials minor and the Materials Science minor. Commonly offered courses that are acceptable for the Minor in Nanoscale Materials are listed below. This list is not exhaustive, and other courses may be approved as appropriate after discussion. A maximum of 3 credits of undergraduate research or independent study may be counted. For further information, contact Professor Ismat Shah at 302-831-1618; Ismat@udel.edu.
MINOR IN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
A minor in Sustainable Energy Technology may be earned by a student in any University bachelor’s degree program through successful completion of a minimum of 15 credits as described below. Before beginning these courses, the student must meet the required course prerequisites. A minimum grade of C- is required in all courses completed for the minor. For inquiries about the Sustainable Energy Technology Minor, contact
Professor Keith Goossen at 831-0590; goossen@ece.udel.edu.
