Before one comes an engineer, he/she must take on an unyielding schedule of math and science courses to complete a degree. I will delve into the difficult yet rewarding classes I am required to take.
Like I said, the engineering discipline requires a very strong mathematical background. Since their are a lot of precise calculations involved in the field, this is necessary. Calculus I, Calculus II, Multivariate Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations are all required courses for the Engineering major, and are to be taken in the order presented. The second most important series of classes one must take is physics. Engineering Graphics, Physics I, Physics II, Physics III, Dynamics, and Statics are all required for my field. The prior classes I have listed are required for all engineering majors, but there are a few specific courses I must take in order to fulfill the requirements for the Civil Engineering major. Physical Geology and Strength of Materials are both required for Civil Engineering major.
Along with these classes, I must complete some ridiculous courses for a reason unknown to me. I must complete an economics class, god only knows why. I must also complete two physical education classes. The most idiotic requirement I must fulfill is to take four performing arts classes, including; theatre, orchestra, choir. Come on now, talk about a waste of money. Am I going to sing to my computer to have my design plans appear on CAD? Or maybe I'll dance on top of the keyboard.
