    I don't know what you've all ready taken but ACP biology, ACP chemistry, zoology and botany.

    I would really make sure to take ACP physics. If you go for any type of science related major you'll be taking it in college so just easier to get that out of the way now.

    Try to take as much math as you can I didn't do good in math in high school so now I'm playing catch up. To give you an idea I had to take introduction to collage math. I need to still take physics, technical math 1 & 2. I think I forgot one.?

    I have a friend who is a civil engineer in the air force. He had math course that had no relevant use but he still had to understand the concepts.

    I said ACP and that's the best way to get your foot in the door but it's not required so don't panic if you cant.

    Advanced math courses, biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering drawing or computer aided drawing classes. Don't forget courses in english, communications, computer presentations because these courses will teach you to communicate your work, your ideas, and your proposals to other people (bosses, peers, clients). Take as many as you possibly can.

    Look at the programs offered by the college or university that you want to attend. Not all of them offer engineering degrees. If you go to a community college or junior college right out of high school, ask an adviser if they have a transfer program. They may be able to tell you exactly what courses to take each semester so all your credits transfer to the university.

    Include courses in ethics and philosophy. They will help you form your morals and values. That may not seem to relate to engineering, but it will be important as you get involved in environmental issues that are influenced by the economy and politics.

    i say you need to choose for the engineering instructions cz you're attracted to engineering and hate to be a doctor.you're starting to be issues in case you will take the scientific instructions. it extremely is customarily the problem of activity.you're attracted to engineering so choose for it.
