In the context of majoring in Computer Engineering (CE) or Electrical Engineering (EE), biology courses are generally not required, with most programs allowing students to fulfill their science requirements through chemistry. An AP Biology credit may suffice for general education, but students interested in biomedical engineering or genomics may benefit from additional biology coursework. The discussion highlights that while biology is not mandatory, understanding biological principles can enhance engineering design, particularly in fields like genetic algorithms and robotics.
PREREQUISITESStudents considering a major in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering, educators advising on curriculum choices, and professionals exploring interdisciplinary applications of biology in engineering.
At my school, bio isn't even suggested, much less required, for either major. I doubt it's required at any other schools, as the majors are insanely packed as is. Look at the schools you're applying to, but even AP bio may be more than you need. (But chemistry is required for the majors, so you may want to look into taking AP chem.)IntegrateMe said:I know every college has their own requirements but do i need to go really in depth with bio or will an AP biology credit get biology out of the way as far as computer/electrical engineering goes?
