<p>Hi, everybody... I am a moroccan student who would like to study in the USA after graduating in high school. Well, my desire to go there burns me because I love Pure Mathematics and also because of the renowned of American universities.</p>
<p>Well, I'll take the TOEFL this year. My mathematical abilities are highest at school, I always help people in Mathematics in the Homework forum and at school. By the way, I would like to opt for aerospace engineering.</p>
<p>So, I just want to know how to prepare for engineering in America, like in France we must study 2 years in preparatory classes before access to an engineering school, and in United Stats how to prepare for engineering?</p>
<p>I guess, you really don’t ‘prepare’ for engineering. Engineering degrees are 4 year degrees, sometimes 5 years, and the first two years of the program I guess you could say ‘prepare’ you. Those two years you take the basic courses in english, mathematics, introduction to engineering, physics, etc. Then the last two years of the degree is when you start with the actual aerospace classes. Aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodyanimcs, spacecraft/rockets/missiles/etc classes.</p>
<p>The best preparation is mathematics. It is the foundation for all engineering disciplines. If your secondary school system is similar to that in France, you will have done a bit more than the typical high school student in the United States. This should help you make the transition to the U.S. system as you become comfortable studying in English.</p>
