The Structural Engineering Minor at Lehigh University is a technical program offered by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). It is designed for students—primarily those within the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science—who wish to specialize in the mechanics, analysis, and design of the built environment.
While a Civil Engineering major covers broad topics like transportation and water resources, the Structural Engineering Minor focuses strictly on the integrity of physical systems. Students move from theoretical physics to practical application, learning how to ensure buildings, bridges, and industrial towers can withstand gravity, wind, and seismic forces.
