Minor: Biomechanical Engineering for Mechanical Engineers

Minor: Biomechanical Engineering for Mechanical Engineers (30 hours)

• Technical electives used towards the biomechanical engineering minor cannot be used towards another minor.
• While technical electives in the minor can potentially count towards the Mechanical Engineering degree, foundational courses will be additional unless they meet other specific degree requirements such as general education.

Foundations Classes (8 credits)
BSC1010C: General Biology I (4 Credits)
BSC2085C: Human Anatomy and Physiology I (4 Credits)

Engineering Electives (9 credits)
