Optical Engineering with no physics in high school?
Currently, I have a 3.9 unweighted GPA. I do very well in all of my math classes and am taking Calculus BC senior year. Will I still be able to pursue engineering at university even though I haven't taken any physics yet?
Answer:
Your best bet may be to talk to someone in admissions at a school you are interested in and see what they say.
My school started us with basic level physics, you didn't need any prior knowledge. It sure didn't hurt to take physics in high school, but I didn't have to take it.
It depends on the individual university, but I think so.
I got into a great university without ever taking Calc.
Plus, you may regret it now, but that computer science may come in handy one day- those skills are good to have, I know from experience trying to find a job.
High school physics is not normally a prerequisite for taking physics for engineers in college, but calculus is. As long as you have a reasonably good science background, the lack of high school physics shouldn't be a serious handicap, especially if you already have some calculus under your belt.
Well, here is the answer. If you pursue computer science, then you wont find physics useful although it is recommended to take it for better understanding. However, if you purse computer engineering, then you need definetly to take introductory physics courses along with their labs. If you want to pursue engineering in any university, then you need definitely physics courses and also you need to finish you calculus, linear algebra, and differential equation classes for any engineering major
