What course to take over summer?

<p>I am finishing my junior year at my high school right now and i need suggestions on what I should take over summer at a local community college.</p>

<p>So far I have my math skills up to ap calc ab and ap physics b in science.</p>

<p>Here are my options:</p>

<p>Physics</p>

<p>PHYS& 121 General Physics I
PHYS& 221 Engineering Physics I</p>

<p>Engineering</p>

<p>ENGR& 104 Introduction To Design (5)</p>

<p>ENGR 106 Intro To Engr Problems (3)</p>

<p>ENGR& 114 Engineering Graphics (5)</p>

<p>ENGR 120 Eng Computational Tools (2)</p>

<p>ENGR& 214 Statics (5)</p>

<p>F ENGR& 225 Mechanics Of Materials (5)</p>

<p>Next year I will be self-studying AP Physics C so I am thinking taking a Physics class may help but then on the other side I will also be leading a FIRST robotics team and need some more knowledge in engineering.</p>

<p>Also what will be more helpful in the long run? I am thinking about doing mechanical/aerospace engineering and would like some experience. </p>

<p>Thank you for reading</p>

<p>I would def recomend a physics class because it is good to get a solid foundation in physics for engineering. I don’t think you will be able to take the engineering physics because of pre-req requirements though. Even if you can I wouldnt because it might be a little overwhelming. A graphics course or a programing course would be a great second choice if you don’t want to take physics or have some extra time to take two classes because you will be using a graphic tool in college and when your working in the real world like Auto CAD.</p>

<p>yeah but autocad stuff can be easily learned online and there are great tutorials online</p>

<p>so im thinking general physics is probably similar to ap physics b and maybe i should go for engineering physics</p>

<p>if theres anything really that your interested in taking for the fall but can’t because one of these is a prereq. take that.</p>

<p>hmm im in high school so i won’t be going to college for fall.</p>

<p>Physics!!! I heard it’s always a lot easier over the summer because the material gets condensed. So you always have one problem of each topic or your professor might not include a topic because of lack of time. Over the semester, he’ll include like two problems of the same topic on the test and it just gets trickier.</p>
