Description
The coastal engineering minor consists of a sequence of courses designed to prepare students to apply civil/environmental engineering principles to solve problems related to coastal sustainability. In addition to the core classes, the coastal engineering minor includes courses that focus on understanding the coastal/marine environment and the application of this knowledge to solve engineering challenges of societal relevance including shoreline erosion, water quality degradation, and habitat loss. Students completing a coastal engineering minor will be equipped with a specialized set of skills that will make them uniquely adapted to work within a number of disciplines along both urban and natural coastlines.
