Program Outline
Degree Overview:
A minor in technology is designed to complement a non-engineering degree by adding some exposure to the elements to technology that are shaping the 21st Century. This minor is open to non-engineering students only. Engineering and technology are integral parts of many careers and fields of study. As "technology" has become so prevalent in our lives and careers, more and more companies are demanding that their employees have a working knowledge in such areas as design, graphics, communications, hardware and software advances, etc. Consequently, college students majoring in non-technical disciplines would be well advised to consider taking advantage of technology-related courses to bolster their knowledge and awareness in any of these areas. In order to provide a structure and formal recognition towards this end, Pacific offers a minor in technology.
