17. What high school students need to know Get as much math as you can (calculus) Should also take courses in  Physics  Chemistry  Biology AP classes are great, but………

18. Engineering courses are only taught in engineering programs Cannot get engineering classes in high school Linear sequence of courses  Calc I, II, III, Diff Eq, Num Methods  ENGR classes

19. Engineering Curriculum Freshman  Common body of knowledge Sophomore  Applied physics  Fluid dynamics  Mechanics Junior and Senior  Specialize in discipline
