The discussion centers on the necessity and extent of biology coursework for students majoring in computer or electrical engineering. Participants explore the relevance of biology to these fields, particularly in relation to specific applications and personal interests.
Participants generally agree that biology is not a core requirement for computer or electrical engineering, but there are differing opinions on its relevance and potential benefits, particularly for specific applications or personal interests. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the necessity of biology coursework.
Variability in biology requirements across different colleges and programs is noted, with some participants indicating that personal interests may influence the decision to take biology courses.
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?
