Engineering majors

<p>Hi, what courses will I have to take if I want to major in civil or environmental engineering? Also which of the two has the least amount of math classes? Math isn't really my strong point, but I love engineering.</p>

<p>Math may not be your strong point, but I’m almost certain that if you worked hard you’d be able to do well in math. Just do as many practice problems as necessary to become familiar with each concept.</p>

<p>Engineering majors will take a year of freshman calculus, following by sophomore level math (multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations). In addition, they will take physics courses using calculus, and usually some sort of statistics or major-specific statistical methods course. More advanced major-specific courses will build on these courses and assume that the student is comfortable with the math and physics. Some more advanced major-specific courses will introduce additional math methods used in that type of engineering.</p>

Not sure what your idea of engineering (that you think you love) is, but there is a significant amount of math involved in studying engineering. While the actual use for so much math in real-life engineering is arguable, there are many hardcore engineering jobs that do require math.</p>
