Minor in Mechanical Behavior of Materials

Majors & Minors

 

An understanding of mechanical behavior is important to both the development of new materials and the selection of appropriate materials for many applications.  The mechanical behavior of materials is best investigated and understood by integrating solid mechanics with the microstructural basis of deformation and fracture.  The purpose of this minor is to allow a formal basis for students to pursue an integrated approach to the mechanical behavior of material. 

Although this minor is open to all CIT students, only students in the department of Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering can take advantage of the double counting permitted for some courses in their department majors.  Students in other departments may have difficulty in fulfilling the requirements for the minor in four years.
