<p>Ok I love math, and I consider myself to be decent at science. However, I am not sure what type of engineering to pursue. I was thinking mechanical, civil, or electrical. However, I feel like based on my abilities my options could be wider or smaller.
Here are my abilities in math and science:
Advanced Alegbra: A (I loved alegbra; it is easy for a lot of people)
Advanced Geometry: B+ (I wasn't good at proofs, I was actually close to getting a B in that class. I just couldn't understand how to do those 2 column proofs)
Advanced Trig/Alegbra 2 A: (It was just like algebra; it was easy and understandable)
Advanced Precalculus: A+: (This is where I truly acceled at math)
AP Calc AB: 1 quiz so far on friday, I am getting it back Monday(I like calculus so far. I taught myself limits, differentiation, chain rule, and implicit differentation. I heard that in engineering you take a lot of calculus courses. But once you start engineering, you don't really do any calc. Is that true?)
AP Stat: 1 quiz so far on friday, I am getting it back Monday(I hate this class so far. It isn't even math
AP Computer Science: A and a 5 on the exam: (I liked this class; however, it was hard for me to get it. Also, I want to do more calculus when I get to colllege. Is there calc in comp sci? Also, the class didn't feel like math. It felt like a language course)
regular earth science: B+ (I didn't get this science. Does that mean I shouldn't be an enviromental engineer?)
regular bio: A : ( I was in regular bio, so it was an easy A. Although I liked Bio, I don't think I should pursue it in college.
honors chemistry B+ : (I have never loved a class so much only to be terrible at it. I would love to be a chemical engineer, but I don't think I am good enough.)
honors physics: 1 quiz so far on friday, I am getting it back Monday(I like physics so far. But I know I got a B/B+ on the first quiz...)
Overall I consider myself to be better at math than science. I wasn't in accelerated science in 8th grade, so I couldn't take AP Physics, AP Bio, or AP Chem....
Based on my stats, what do you guys think I should pursue.</p>
<p>It sounds like you really enjoy math. That is a great trait to have, and you should be proud of yourself.</p>
<p>Don’t think that anything you do in high school should dictate what you can do with the rest of your life. I’ve seen kids barely graduate high school, go to CC, start at some lower-level math (pre-college stuff, intermediate algebra, etc), and go on to complete linear algebra, differential equations, the calc series, etc. </p>
<p>Very often, something taught in high school makes no sense to some people, and then there’s a “viola” moment in college. This happened to me with calc, and so many other people I know.</p>
<p>There is no set pigeon whole for what you should be. Follow what you are passionate about, and what inspires you. If it’s only money…truthfully, I’d say you should look into other majors. Read about what each type of engineering deals with. And don’t think “If I do X engineering, I can’t ever do Y engineering. What if I change my mind?” The skills taught to you in any engineering major will allow you to pursue your interests, whatever they are, in another field, and be successful.</p>
<p>Have you considered an applied math, or pure math degree? That has some benefits over engineering, mostly more course-work freedom. </p>
<p>One last question, why don’t you think you should pursue any bio in college, if you like it? :-)</p>
<p>Good luck mate</p>
