<p>Ok, well my spring semester right now looks like this</p>
<p>Circuit Analysis 2 / lab
Linear Algebra/ Matlab progamming
Digital Circuit Design / lab
Humanities 1
Education for Liberation Here and Abroad</p>
<p>I was thinking of switching out humanities 1 for engineering statics. I was thinking I have a month to get a jump start on the material. The 2 non science classes I listed are heavily reading and writing based. On the other hand, four math based courses seem overwhelming. What do you think? Do you think If I studied hard during the semester break, I could get a good jumpstart on the material and be smooth sailing next semester, or keep the humanities course?</p>
<p>Is statics part of an important prerequisite chain? Does it have a lab? Labs tend to increase the amount of work, even if the course material is not that hard.</p>
<p>Does the humanities course have a big term project or voluminous amounts of reading? Not all humanities courses are as easy as the reputations they often have.</p>
<p>It’s not part of a chain. It’s just exposure to a basic mechanical engineering course. It doesn’t have a lab. I’m not sure if the humanities course has a big term project. It differs from teacher to teacher. From what I hear it involves a lot of reading and a lot of writing.</p>
<p>Why would you ever need a statics course?</p>
<p>Statics is useless for an EE, but then again I dont know what your post-graduation plans are.</p>
<p>It is just part of our EE curriculum. I don’t make the curriculum, I just follow it.</p>
<p>Statics isn’t too bad, but it(for me) takes lots of practice. If you were good at static equilibriums in phys1, you will be fine in statics.</p>
