<p>I'm a second semester freshman and it's looking like I'll have some extra space in my schedule for 2 or 3 more classes. I was wondering if their are any certain classes that would be useful/beneficial for my job search - Classes that would be good to know and make me more marketable.</p>
<p>Some ideas I had were:
Advanced CAD class
Specific steel/concrete class
Extra programming class of some sort
A sub-civil area class that is important to know</p>
<p>Thanks for any answers!</p>
<p>I would not spend a course on Advanced CAD (assuming you already know basic CAD). Anything else that you’ll need to know you can learn on your own through the manuals. I also wouldn’t spend it on an extra programming course for the same reason.</p>
<p>If you already know what field you want to go into, take additional courses in that area. If you don’t, then spread your selections over a couple of areas so you can get a better overview and help you decide which field you like better.</p>
<p>Prestressed concrete and/or Soil Mechanics (if it’s not in the curriculum already). If you have the stomach and math for it, Plates & Shells.</p>
