Engineering Business Minor

Thanks to gifts from the Clark Construction Group, Inc. and Bill Utt (SEAS ’79, ’80, Darden ’84), engineering students are now able to pursue a minor in engineering and business. This minor provides students with the opportunity to learn how modern business organizations function and to acquire the concepts and language they will need to be effective in the corporate world. The minor involves coursework in economics, business, and new product development, and students take classes in both SEAS and the McIntire School of Commerce.

Curriculum

The Engineering Business Minor requires the successful completion of eighteen (18) credit hours. There are three required courses and three electives. Students pursuing the minor should declare the minor as early as possible since COMM 180 and TMP 351 are restricted to students in the minor.
