<p>Assuming that you’ve earned those A’s in Cal I and II in a college course, and not in high school, and assuming you were a full time student or a part time student with a full time job when you were taking them, then yes, I would say you have a good study habits, which is an imperative habit for all serious-minded students. The Eng Dept advisor gave you the contract to get B or higher on all highly demanding courses (as opposed to liberal arts) to find out if you are really serious in being an engineer and because you have the potential to study well as exemplified by your A grades. That being said, the answer is yes to your first question, and you may find that many others before you have done that same route before. As you get to upper division courses, all your four courses will be in the math and engineering departments. Physics I will teach you mechanics, the basic stuff that mechanical engineering is made of. Elementary Chemistry will teach you all about the elements and all those nice drawings for something like H2O. Physics and Chemistry are both applied sciences (as opposed to math) so you will have to pass their lab experiments portions also. You will need to write on lab notebooks to write your reports on the experiments. The main thing to know in Physics is knowing the concepts and their formulas. In Chemistry, its knowing the elements, their attributes, and their interactions with other elements to make different substances like H2O. You will be needing Calculus for Physics I, but in Chemistry, Algebra will suffice.</p>
