SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the necessary prerequisite courses for pursuing Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, particularly for individuals with a GED seeking to join the Canadian Military's University subsidy program. The required courses include English (ENG4U), Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U), and Physics (SPH4U). Additionally, it is recommended to take differential equations, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and a numerical methods course utilizing MATLAB to enhance mathematical proficiency for the engineering field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of high school mathematics, including calculus and functions.
  • Familiarity with basic physics principles relevant to engineering.
  • Knowledge of chemistry fundamentals applicable to engineering contexts.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB for numerical methods applications.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research differential equations and their applications in engineering.
  • Explore multivariable calculus techniques and their relevance to Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
  • Study linear algebra concepts and their use in engineering problem-solving.
  • Learn MATLAB for numerical methods and simulations in engineering contexts.
USEFUL FOR

Individuals seeking to enter Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, particularly those with a GED or non-traditional educational backgrounds, as well as military personnel looking to utilize educational subsidies for engineering studies.

For reasons I won't get into I was forced to leave school for the work force
very early. I got my GED when I was 20 with a very high score, but now
I'm trying to join the Canadian Military to take advantage of their University
subsidy program. They do not classify the GED as a full grade 12, so I will be
forced to take the required courses before applying.

The prerequisite programs are

English ENG4U
Advanced Functions MHF4U
Calculus and Vectors MCV4U
Chemistry SCH4U
Physics SPH4U

and 2 Mathematics.

There are so many mathematics courses to choose from, which do you
recommend for Mechanical and Aerospace engineering?

For Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering you need the following courses:
ENG4U
SCH4U
SPH4U
MHF4U
MCV4U
 
I'm not sure how your system works, but differential equations and multivariable calculus would be helpful. Linear algebra could be helpful. A numerical methods math class (using MATLAB or something similar) could be helpful as well.
