<p>Or is it physics, computer science and logic, and research? (Guess which I am more interested in?)</p>
<p>I posted the same question in the Princeton forum. This is somethign that is pretty important to me?</p>
<p>Are there research opportunities based on merit?</p>
<p>I’m a fan of more physics classes as opposed to math classes. Calculus I think is fun, but not when timing and quantity is given preference over quality and thoroughness.</p>
<p>What is the honor system like?</p>
<p>Why not do math instead of engineering? Or Applied Math-Physics, a concentration we offer.</p>
<p>Engineering is focused on engineering, and more specifically. on the kind of engineering you're interested in. If you want to do Computer Engineering, you'll take more CS stuff, if you like electrical, you'll be doing electrical, biomedical, you'll take more bio, et etc etc.</p>
<p>Everyone at Brown who wants to do research can do research-- there is no need to have a merit based setup because anyone who wants to be involved can and will be.</p>
<p>If you want to take more physics, take more physics.</p>
<p>Honors is a 3.2GPA + Research resulting in a thesis which is approved.</p>
<p>Those are hte concentration requirements for undergraduate engineers. Nationwide engineering programs don't change much because they're all ABET certified which has quite a few pretty strict restrictions on what is an engineering degree.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of doing a double major in engineering physics (or computer engineering) and econ. Would I be able to fit all that into the schedule?</p>
<p>It says engineering and physics is not accredited though in that link?</p>
<p>Engineering physics, the concentrations is not an ABET accredited degree and isn't anywhere. That degree is not intended for someone to go directly into the work place as an engineer in a specific field, it's more of a general education in the different areas and that is why I think it's one of the less popular choices.</p>
<p>You could fit in that double concentration, though it would be quite tight. Most places in the country it's impossible, here it's just difficult and requires a lot of foresight and planning.</p>
<p>the beauty of brown is that is one of the few places where you can make whatever you want fit into your schedule. if you want to be an engineer great. you can fit in any combination of applied math, math, physics, and economics you want.</p>
<p>Nice! Thanks for the input.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of doing a double major anyway (computer engineering and econ or biomedical.) </p>
<p>I'm split between what my second major should be. I like econ and it would increase my later job worth if combined with engineering, but I am interested in bio subjects as well.</p>
<p>On fitting it all in, whatever I take, I tried to prepare ahead. I wanted to free up some electives so I am taking more AP's this year. </p>
<p>What AP score does Brown gives credit for? I'm taking both Physics C exams this year, mechanics and electromagnetism, AP macro Economics, and AP Biology. I took calc AB last year, but got a 3, so no go with that. I've got AP american history, but that doesn't help me at all with my likely science curriculem.</p>
<p>Engineers won't get anything for Physics, and I think that you won't have ot take Econ 11 with AP econ. AP Bio means you wont have to take Bi20 you can take higher level bio right away.</p>
<p>AP American can work if you take some higher level history, but wont work towards anythingbut a history concentration.</p>
