<p>Ok, MIT is an engineering school...in fact, it is the engineering school..
when we were talking about majors, most prefrosh i talked to during CPW said they were going to major in some type of engineering, 1,2,3,10,16,20 etc...
but it leads to the question how people choose engineering...
i mean most high schools (at least mine) do not have engineering classes (for instance, Mech Eng, Chem E) like science classes ( AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Physics)....
in addition, freshman classes are only the sciences, HASS and calc class and we are required to declare a major by the end of freshman year (or sophomore, but still...). So, do they have prior knowledge or expertise in engineering classes or do they pretty much learn about it while taking the classes?</p>

<p>I think this is a little bit of a dumb question. I was only thinking of doing only Course 7 until I thought 10-B or 20 would also be pretty cool.</p>

<p>Thanks y'all!</p>
