Electrical Engineering

<p>

Your chemistry requirement generally will be at the very least:
A year of Inorganic Chemistry</p>

<p>Additionally you may need a year of organic chemistry as some school add the material science route to elec E.</p>

<p>2 Years of Calculus based Physics:
This generally breaks down to
Mechanics
Electricity and Magnetism
Light, waves and optics
Modern physics</p>

<p>The first 3 courses are lab based. Modern physics is more theoretical, and doesn’t.</p>

<p>A year of English.</p>

<p>Economics*

Many colleges have completely different requirements. I was an EE major at Stanford, so I’ll use Stanford as an example. EE majors at the college have no chemistry requirement, either organic or inorganic. The physics requirements typically takes 2 quarters (not years)… less for students with AP credit. There is no physics lab requirement. English is not required specifically for EE majors, although all majors need to satisfy a writing requirement. Classes in a variety of non-English fields can satisfy this writing requirement, including EE-related research and related special projects. EE majors do not have an economics requirement. I’ve never heard of an EE program that required economics. </p>
