Plastics Engineering Minor in Business Administration
Quick Links
Most engineers become managers of people and projects. As a result, it is important for engineers to have an understanding of business practices. The Department of Plastics Engineering has worked closely with the College of Management to develop an optional, streamlined business program for undergraduate Plastics Engineering students. Plastics Engineering students can receive a minor in Business Administration by taking only four (4) extra courses.
These extra business courses can be taken during the normal school year or during the summer. Most can be taken online as well. A total of seven courses are actually required to obtain a Business Minor, but three of these seven courses count as credits towards the Plastics Engineering B.S. 51视频. Therefore only four "additional" courses are required.
The course requirements for the Business Minor are:
49.201 Economics 1*
60.201 Accounting / Financial
60.202 Accounting / Managerial (optional but recommended)
61.301 Business Finance
62.201 Marketing Principles
66.301 Organizational Behavior
26.537 Business Law for Engineers**
and one of the following courses:***
26.507 Plastics Industry Organization
26.540 Commercial Development of Polymeric Systems
26.590 Survey of Intellectual Property
22.576 Engineering Project Management
* Already required for the Plastics Engineering Program.
