Engineering Ethics and Values Minor

The College of Engineering offers a minor in Engineering Ethics and Values (ENEV). 

The goal of this program is to involve engineering students in an elective program which will help you to: (a) understand the impact of Christian, Catholic and Jesuit values on engineering ethics, (b) recognize current engineering ethical issues and (c) strengthen your moral resolve to act courageously on these issues once you enter the engineering profession.

Requirements include: PHIL 1001, PHIL 2310, and THEO 1001.  Students are also required to participate in four 1-credit ENEV colloquia (ENEV 1952, 2952, 3952, 4952).   Final course requirements include: 3 credit hours from the following list of courses: BIEN 4931 (specific topics only), CEEN 3720, CEEN 4740, and 6 additional credit hours from PHIL 4320, PHI L4330, PHIL 3740, PHIL 3350, PHIL 4335, SOCI 3520, SOCI 4400, SOWJ 1001, THEO 2400, THEO 4430, THEO 4440, THEO 4450, MANA 3002, BIEN 4931(specific topics only), CEEN 3720, CEE N4740.

The minor requires 22 credits, but with planning can be completed with minimum overload.  For example, if a student elects to take:

• PHIL 1001 – UCCS HNE
• PHIL 2310 – UCCS HNE
• THEO 1001 - UCCS T
• CEEN 3720 – UCCS DC
• SOJW 1001 – UCCS ISB
• THEO 2400 – UCCS T

the overload (e.g. minor degree requirements above-and-beyond the engineering major requirements) is a mere 4 credits; the four 1-credit ENEV colloquia (ENEV 1952, 2952, 3952, 4952) that are required to complete this minor.
