Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around whether chemistry is a required subject for students pursuing a degree in computer science engineering, particularly focusing on high school prerequisites and university requirements.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks if chemistry is required for computer science engineering, indicating a need for clarity on university admission requirements.
  • Another participant requests further elaboration, suggesting that the initial question lacks specificity.
  • A participant reiterates the question about university requirements for high school chemistry in relation to computer engineering, emphasizing the need for institutional guidelines.
  • It is noted that degree requirements vary by institution, and checking with specific universities is necessary.
  • One participant claims that most universities require a semester of college chemistry, which typically necessitates having taken high school chemistry.
  • A moderator adds a note to clarify the thread title for better context.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that requirements vary by institution, but there is no consensus on specific requirements across all universities.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of specific examples of universities and their requirements, as well as the dependence on individual school policies.

Please elaborate, you question is so vague it doesn't make much sense to me.
 


It is a straight forward question whether the universities require undergraduates to do some chemistry courses(in high school[11th and 12th grade]) for computer engineering or not?

Each school has its own degree requirements. You'll have to check with the institution to find out.
 


Most require a semester.

EDIT: Since thread title changed slightly. Most universities require a semester of college chemistry which normally requires high school chemistry.
