Minor Programs
This section includes general information concerning minors that are designed for students in the Faculty of Engineering.
Minors are coherent sequences of courses taken in addition to the courses required for the B.Eng., B.S.E., or B.Sc.(Arch.) degree. Minors normally consist of 18–24 credits, allowing 9–12 credits of overlap with the degree program. The real credit cost to the student is typically 9–15 credits, representing one term beyond the B.Eng., B.S.E., or B.Sc.(Arch.) degree program. All courses in a minor must be passed with a grade of C or better.
Engineering students choose from a considerable variety of complementary courses under the categories of technical and complementary studies. Students should refer to their department for information concerning selection of complementary courses, and should see their department adviser. Departments also publish information regarding the choice of courses in this publication and in separate documents.

Minor in Environment
Minor in Environment
Environmental studies focus on the interactions between humans and their natural and technological environments. Environmental problems are complex, and their satisfactory solutions require the synthesis of social, scientific, and institutional knowledge.
The Minor in Environment is offered and administered by the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº School of Environment (MSE).
Since the program comprises a total of 18 credits for the Minor, additional credits beyond those needed for the B.Eng. degree are required. Students wishing to complete the Minor should prepare a program and have it approved by both their regular Engineering departmental adviser and the MSE Adviser. For program details, see the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº School of Environment > Undergraduate > Minor in Environment.
Minor Adviser: Students interested in this Minor should contact Kathy Roulet, MSE Program Adviser (email: kathy.roulet [at] mcgill.ca; telephone: 514-398-4306).

Minor Programs in Finance, Management, Marketing, and Operations Management
Minor Programs in Finance, Management, Marketing, and Operations Management
Prerequisite: None
Minors for Non-Management Students: Students considering one of these Minor programs should consult a Faculty Student Adviser in the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Engineering Student Centre (Student Affairs Office) (Frank Dawson Adams Building, Room 22) before applying to the Desautels Faculty of Management.
Many engineers begin to assume management functions within a few years of graduation. They can, at this stage, take up the study of economics, behavioural science, and other management subjects. Students wishing to include such studies in their undergraduate program can take suitable courses from Engineering and Management.
Each Minor is comprised of 18 credits of courses available from the core program of the Desautels Faculty of Management (subject to timetable requirements). Some courses from the Management core program have considerable overlap with Engineering courses and thus are not available to Engineering students.
Students embarking on a minor must be prepared to take credits additional to their Engineering program. Students in a B.Eng. or B.S.E. program may be able to count up to 6 credits of Complementary Studies Group B courses (Humanities and Social Sciences, Management Studies, and Law courses) toward both their Engineering major program and a Management minor where applicable. More information about Complementary Studies is given in each individual academic program listing for the B.Eng. and B.S.E degrees (see Academic Programs).
Students must have a minimum CGPA of 3.0 or better to be considered for one of these Minor programs.
Students planning to take any course with statistics as a prerequisite must have completed MGCR 271 (Business Statistics) or an equivalent course approved by the BCom Student Affairs Office.
Detailed information on these Minor programs can be found in Desautels Faculty of Management > Undergraduate > Overview of Programs Offered by the Desautels Faculty of Management > Minors for Non-Management Students.
