Minor in Computer Engineering

The purpose of the Minor in Computer Engineering is to give students who are interested in computer technology a good basic background in software development, digital electronics, computer organization, and microprocessor applications. Additional knowledge of computer networks, multimedia systems, real-time systems, etc. may be acquired through electives. Students interested in the Computer Engineering minor must meet with the program coordinator and complete the Computer Engineering Minor Program Approval Form. Revision of the form requires the approval of the program coordinator.

All coursework used to satisfy the requirements of the minor must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 2.0.

Computer Engineering Minor — 21 units

To earn the Minor in Computer Engineering, a student must complete at least 12 of the required 21 core and elective units at SF State. Each of the courses in the minor must be taken for a letter grade (CR/NC is not acceptable).

A minimum of 6 upper-division units are required to complete the minor.

All coursework used to satisfy the requirements of the minor must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
