Civil engineering?? WOuld i need alot of math?
Answer:
You will need Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III and Differential Equations.
Calc I, Calc II, Calc III (Vector Calculus), Differential Equations, and then you will need to take statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, physics I, physics II, basically anything to do with math you will be taking.
Just stick with it and you will do fine. Good luck!
For pretty much anything with engineering in the title you'll need the 3 calc classes and diff eq. Unless you're also planning on majoring in math you shouldn't need the analysis courses though.
Stats is a great start!
here are the other MATH classes you will need and their descriptions (straight from the msu website):
Calculus 1: Limits, continuous functions, derivatives and their applications. Integrals and the fundamental theorem of calculus.
Calculus 2: Applications of the integral and methods of integration. Improper integrals. Polar coordinates and parametric curves. Sequences and series. Power series.
Multivariable Calculus:Vectors in space. Functions of several variables and partial differentiation. Multiple integrals. Line and surface integrals. Green's and Stokes's theorems.
Differential Equations: Separable and exact equations. Linear equations and variation of parameters. Higher order linear equations. Laplace transforms. Systems of first-order linear equations. Introduction to partial differential equations and Fourier series.
Plus there will be physics and chem and dynamics and thermo and structures and materials..and i know it sounds scary, but you'll be fine! All of those descriptions are just words... you don't have to even know what they are talking about to go into the class, learn it, and do fine. I had never had calc before and i 4 pointed all of mine except the tricky vector one.
Keep in mind that if you pursue engineering, you will want to be at an ABET acredited school, so that you will be a real, certifiable engineer. ABET holds all schools to the same standards, so all accredited schools will have the same curriculum.
Just focus on what you have to do to understand the material, do well, and once you're accepted into the program its smooth sailing. I honestly thought the entrance requirements were the hardest classes!
