<p>What sort of classes will you have to take if you are majoring in engineering? how about requirements? BTW I am more interested in sciences, but as I said I am into physics, as well</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Really depends on what engineering you want to go into…</p>
<p>But generally it’s at least one semester of chemistry and 2 semesters of physics, a CS class and a bunch of other intro seminars that I hear aren’t really as intense as the formerly mentioned.</p>
<p>This: [Cornell</a> Engineering : Engineering Handbook 2008](<a href=“http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/engineering-handbook/2008/index.cfm]Cornell”>http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/engineering-handbook/2008/index.cfm)</p>
<p>will give you all the specifics you need.</p>
<p>Some general classes commonly taken by freshmen:</p>
<p>MATH 1910 - Basically Calculus II
MATH 1920 - Multivariable Calculus
MATH 2930 - Differential Equations
MATH 2940 - Linear Algebra</p>
<p>CHEM 2090, or something like that - General Chemistry</p>
<p>PHYS 1120 - Mechanics
PHYS 2213 - Electricity and Magnetism
PHYS 2214 - Particles, Waves, and Optics
or the honors versions of the above listed physics courses, though they are notoriously hard and few take them (mostly Physics/Applied and Engineering Physics majors). </p>
<p>Computer programming in either Java or MATLAB, plus a one-credit supplementary course on whichever language you didn’t take. </p>
<p>Some sort of intro to engineering course, offered for a variety of engineering disciplines. </p>
<p>Schedules vary, depending on how much AP credit or transfer credit you have. </p>
<p>From your second year on you will probably take mostly classes that are very specific to your major. You will need to declare a major by the end of your third semester.</p>
