SUMMARY

Excluding biology from course selection does not significantly limit engineering career options for students interested in civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, aeronautical, nuclear, or structural engineering. While biology is essential for fields like biochemical or biomedical engineering, it is not a prerequisite for most traditional engineering disciplines. The recommended courses, including Chemistry, Functions, Advanced Functions, and Physics, provide a solid foundation for engineering studies. Additionally, students should prioritize calculus to enhance their engineering skill set.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics principles
  • Knowledge of chemistry fundamentals
  • Familiarity with functions and advanced functions in mathematics
  • Basic proficiency in calculus
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the requirements for biochemical and biomedical engineering programs
  • Explore the role of calculus in engineering problem-solving
  • Investigate the various branches of engineering and their specific prerequisites
  • Learn about the importance of environmental sciences in engineering
USEFUL FOR

High school students considering engineering careers, academic advisors, and parents guiding students in course selection for engineering pathways.

My school had us complete course selection in two days so I made the rash decision of excluding biology. What engineering professions will this bar me from?

Note: I will be taking French, Graphic design, Chemistry, Functions, Advanced functions and Physics. Is this a good group of courses for engineering?

I don't know if you are talking high school or freshman college courses, I assume high school, but if you have any leaning at all toward civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, aeronautical, nuclear , or structural engineering, you won't need biology. It would be helpful if you were interested in say biochemical or biomedical engineering, or environmental sciences, as examples, but otherwise, it is not necessary. Don't forget calculus!
