<p>I just recieved my ap stats score and i got a 5. i know this is obviously good enough to pass out of but i heard something about having to take an engineering based statistics for engineer majors regardless of what you get on the ap stats exam. is this true? is there any getting out of stats in college for engineers?</p>
<p>I just looked at the degree program for mechanical engineering at Tufts ([Mechanical</a> Engineering - Tufts University](<a href=“http://engineering.tufts.edu/me/academics/undergraduate/bsMechanical/degree.asp]Mechanical”>http://engineering.tufts.edu/me/academics/undergraduate/bsMechanical/degree.asp)) and as I suspected, statistics isn’t even required for them. It’s likely very major-to-major and school-to-school dependent. What and where are you planning to study?</p>
<p>civl engineering at penn state or virginia tech</p>
<p>Well considering that engineering statistics usually requires calculus and AP Stats does not you probably will have to take stats if your major requires it. However it shouldn’t be fundamentally harder than AP Stats, so I wouldnt worry too much if you have to take it.</p>
<p>well what if you add a 5 on the ap calc AB exam to the picture. haha im just gonna give it shot and try but could i combine those to make engineering statistics? just throwin it out there dont laugh haha</p>
<p>Probably not going to happen , especially since my engineering statistics class required multivariable calculus (nothing too hard, just double/triple integration)</p>
<p>If statistics is required for an engineering major, it will likely be calculus based statistics, which AP Statistics is not.</p>
<p>I’m in the same damn boat. I got a 5 on stats and get credit for stat 315 but for my major(mech) I have to take calculus based stats which is stat 320. This sucks</p>
