CMIE Undergraduate Minors

[ BS in Construction Management ] [BS in Industrial Engineering ]

Minors generally require that students earn a C or better in all minor coursework, and that the student maintains at least a 2.0 overall GPA in the minor coursework (this includes counting repeated courses). A listing of all minors at LSU can be found near the front of the LSU General Catalog (p. 25 in the 2003-2004 catalog), with descriptions of requirements given under the corresponding college or department overseeing the minor.

The following minors are offered by the Department of Construction Management & Industrial Engineering:

CMIE Department Minors:

• The minor in Construction Management is designed to augment business and design discipline degrees to enhance employment.


• All students must take CM 1010, CM 2012, CM 2121, and nine additional hours above CM 2121.


• Students must complete the necessary prerequisites for all CM course work.


• Students must follow the College of Engineering "Minor Field Requirements" earn a "C" grade in each course, and maintain an overall 2.00 g.p.a.

TOTAL = 18 semester hours

NOTE: Students must declare CM as a minor in their respective senior college prior to taking any CM courses above CM 2121. Registration in any CM course above CM 2121 is restricted to students admitted to a senior college with a declared CM major or minor. CM minor students WILL NOT be allowed to take more than eighteen (18) hours of CM course work.

This program provides academic background for career progression in Ergonomics, Industrial Hygiene, and Industrial Safety. The program is designed to provide an avenue of study to qualified undergraduate students who are interested in one or more aspects of Environmental and/or Occupational Health and Safety. These aspects include Occupational Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomics/Human Factors, Epidemiology, and Public Heath. The program thus embraces a myriad of possibilities which branch out from the central concentration in the area of Occupational Health and Safety. The objectives of the program are achieved through a basic requirement of core courses which is supplemented by appropriate elective courses in a chosen area of concentration or emphasis.

To earn a minor in occupational health and safety, a student must complete IE3302, IE4461, and IE4462, and three courses from the following: EVEG4120, CHE4253, ENVS4149, ENVS4500, KIN3514, PSYC4034, PSYC4050, IE4362, IE4463, IE4465*, IE4466, and IE4785**. All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Interested students should contact Dr. Aghazadeh in the IMSE Department, or a counselor in the College of Engineering .

*Cross listed with BE4323.
**The student must select a topic in the area of Occupational Health and Safety. It is the student's responsibility to find a supervising faculty member.

This program provides academic background for career progression in the engineering management of Quality and Reliability programs. The program is designed to provide an avenue of study to qualified undergraduate students who are interested in one or more aspects of these areas, including quality control and assurance, quality systems, statistical process measurement and control, reliability engineering and management, and maintenance engineering/management through a basic requirement of core courses which is supplemented by appropriate elective courses in a chosen area of concentration or emphasis.

To earn a minor in Quality and Reliability Engineering, a student must currently be enrolled in an engineering degree program, and must complete the following courses: IE3302 Engineering Statistics, IE4362 Advanced Engineering Statistics, IE4453 Industrial Quality Control, IE4540 Reliability Engineering; And any two course from the following 1 : IE4485 Systems Integration, IE4490 Maintenance Management, IE4785 2 Special topics in IE (Independent Study), ME4733 Deformation /Fracture of Engineering Materials, ME4763 Fundamentals of Corrosion Science.

All courses for the minor must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Interested students should contact Dr. Knapp or a counselor in the College of Engineering.

Notes:

1. Other courses may be substituted (with approval of an Industrial Engineering Advisor) if relevance to the programs intent can be demonstrated.
   
2. Topic must be in the area of Quality, Reliability, or Maintenance Engineering. It is the student's responsibility to find a supervising faculty member.

Other Minors:

Contact a counselor in the College of Engineering for further information on the following minors.

If you want a Business Administration Minor, you must declare it with a counselor in the Engineering Dean's office to make it official AND you:

* PREREQUISITES: ACCT 2000 or 2001, and either ECON 2030 or ECON 2000 and 2010.

TOTAL = 18 semester hours
