how important is it to take physics for engineering and to what level? thanks
<p>in HS or in college?</p>
<p>In high school, you should take at least the first physics class, and ideally AP Physics C as well. AP Physics B will be useless for credit, but at least it exposes you to more advanced physics. In college, you typically have to take 3 physics classes for engineering: Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, and Modern Physics (which includes topics like waves, optics, quantum mechanics, fluids, thermodynamics, and nuclear physics).</p>
