Requirements for Minors

  • At least 50% of the minor courses must be unduplicated, i.e., not used to simultaneously satisfy credit requirements of the major, core curriculum, or additional minors.
  • At least 50% of the minor courses must be completed in residence at UNH.
  • A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in the minor (programs may set higher requirements).
  • A student may not declare a major and minor in the same program.

Engineering is a broad discipline that uses problem-solving to improve a wide range of industries including health, manufacturing, transportation, energy, and more. Students will have the opportunity to explore and create, while also utilizing equations to design real-world solutions.

This minor is only open to non-engineering majors and requires students to have appropriate math and science background due to the prerequisite or co-requisite requirements of the required coursework. Please refer to the catalog for complete prerequisite and co-requisite course requirements. 

A minor in General Engineering will support students in pursuing dual degree programs to complete a master's degree in select engineering programs. Students are required to complete at least 15 credits for the minor. Students are required to take EASC 1107 and EASC 1112 with EASC 1101 as a co-requisite. Students will also complete at least 6 credits from the list of restricted electives and 2-3 credits (1 course) from the list of unrestricted electives based on interests or as required for specific dual degree coursework plans.

Program Outcomes

By the completion of this minor, students should be able to:

1) Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

2) Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet various stakeholder-specified needs. 

Restricted Electives (6 credits)


Students are required to take at least 6 credits (or 2 courses) of restricted electives.

  • EASC 2211 is required to stay on track for a dual degree M.S. in Chemical Engineering.
