<p>In the college of engineering are you required to take these classes as a freshman (1st semester):</p>

<p>Engineering Math (4 crs)
Science (Chemistry <em>or</em> Physics; based on academic interest and advanced placement credit) (4 crs)
Intro to Computer Programming <em>or</em> Intro to Engineering (ENGRI) (3 crs)
First-Year Engineering Seminar (ENGRG 1050) (1 cr)
First-Year Writing Seminar (3 crs)
Physical Education (1 cr)
Academic Excellence Workshops (optional) (1 cr each)</p>

i want to transfer out of coe asap; can i take different classes instead of these? how does class picking work?!?!?!?</p>

2

<p>you can take different classes. You’ll be pre-enrolled in some of the classes above but you can change it during the add drop period during orientation.</p>

<p>Why do you want to transfer out of engineering without even trying it though?</p>

3

<p>you’re right, i suppose i SHOULD give it a chance. I just was never really interested in the idea, and i’m not really a hand on, technical person.
thanks for the information!</p>

<p>*** @ transfer out of COE</p>

5

<p>lol is this a joke? You were never a technical person yet you applied to engineering and paid the deposit?</p>

6

<p>are you looking to transfer into a less technical field for a hard science (bio, physics, etc)?</p>

7

<p>he mentioned in another topic that he applied for math, but at one point got a call asking if he was willing to be considered for the College of Engineering.</p>

8

<p>just curious, wouldn’t cornell know that he didn’t get into CAS and was put into engineering, and not allow him to transfer in</p>

9

<p>they would know that, but it wouldn’t disqualify him from an internal transfer.</p>

<p>However if you were interested in Math I would at least suggest looking into the following two engineering majors Operations Research and Computer Science.</p>
