Computational Science and Engineering
(27 semester hours)
For information, contact the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, 205 Benton Hall (513-529-0340).
This minor is an integrated collection of courses whose goal is to provide students with knowledge and skills in using computation to solve engineering and scientific problems. The use of computation as a problem solving method is not ubiquitous in these fields.
According to University guidelines, all minor courses must be taken for a letter grade and you must earn an overall 2.00 GPA in these courses.
