Hello,
I am currently at a community college planning to transfer to a four year school for mechanical engineering. I last took physics in high school seven years ago, although I remember most of the concepts and even a couple basic equations.
I am taking Calculus I this fall. My original plan was to take College Physics I (algebra based) with Calculus I. But we have a class called Engineering Physics (calculus based). If the two courses cover the same material conceptually, I think I could brush up on the basics and skip College Physics in favor of Engineering Physics next semester (after Calculus I).
This would also allow me to take a much needed Chemistry class in the fall. It would put me a class ahead. Should I worry about my level of physics knowledge?
The prerequisite is only Calculus I, with prior high school or college physics recommended. Is taking College Physics I then Engineering Physics I a bad idea as I will be in Calculus this fall?
Thanks a million in advance for your reply.
