Requirements for a Minor in ECIV

Following is the suggested course list to recieve a minor in Civil Engineering from CWRU. A minimum of 15 credit hours is required to earn the minor. This list comes from the Civil Engineering Department of CWRU Handbook during the 1996 - 1998 school years.

Required Courses

  • ECIV 110, Mechanics (3)
  • ECIV 211, Civil Engineering Materials (2)
  • Select a minimum of 10 credit hours from one of the following areas (approval of the minor's adviser is required):

Solid Mechanics

  • ECIV 210, Strength of Materials (3)
  • ECIV 410, Advanced Strength of Materials (3)
  • ECIV 411, Elasticity, Theory, & Applications (3)
  • ECIV 415, Structural Modeling & Experimental Methods (3)
  • ECIV 420, Introduction to Finite Element Structural Analysis (4)
  • ECIV 584, Theory of Plasticity (3)
  • ECIV 585, Fracture Mechanics (3)
  • ECIV 586, Rate Effects in Solid Mechanics (3)
  • EMAE 372, Relation of Materials to Design (4)

Structural & Geotechnical Engineering

Construction Engineering and Management

  • Two of the courses must be ECIV 340, Construction Management (3)
  • ECIV 341, Construction Scheduling and estimating (3)
  • One or more courses chosen from BLAW 329, ECON 361, ACCT 303, BAFI 355, LHRP 251, LHRP 311.

Environmental Engineering

  • (To be arranged with advisor). Computer use is an integral part of the civil engineering curriculum. From required courses in computer programming and numerical analysis to subsequent use and development of civil engineering programs, the student fully utilizes the computer as a planning, analysis, design, and managerial tool. All sequences are constructed to provide a balance of marketable skills and theoretical bases for further growth. With departmental approval other sequences can be developed to meet students' needs.
