Abstract

There has been a great demand for scientists and engineers to become thoroughly acquainted with the application of digital computers to their discipline areas. As a result, engineering and science majors have been interested in complimenting their programs with a minor in Computer Science. Traditionally, minor programs required a specific number of thematically related courses in the minor discipline. However, this traditional approach does not necessarily fulfill the real demands of the students involved in Computer Science. A suggested minor program is presented with a review of experiences.
