What Gen Eds will I certainly need for transferring to most univ Engineering programs

College Majors Engineering Majors
4

<p>From time to time, some new students (family members, friends, etc) will ask me that question. I believe in taking GenEd requirements that can be transferred to as many universities as possible. Here are my thoughts:</p>

<p>Writing: English Composition
Social Science: Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, World Geography
Arts/Humanities: Art History, U.S. or U.K. Literature
Science: Physics I (mechanics), Physics II (electricity & magnetism)…both Calc-based
Math: Calculus I, II, III, Linear Algebra Differential Equations
Computer Science: Introductory Programming I & II</p>

<p>Notes:

  1. A few engineering majors require freshman Chemistry. Usually CS does not.
  2. CS won’t require Calculus III and Differential Equations (most schools)
  3. CS may require Discrete Math Structures
  4. EE & CompE may require a “circuits sequence” in the sophomore year</p>
