CE En 101 is new since I was there, but would probably be a good start.

You could also take CE En 103 (Engineering Mechanics - Statics) which is a required course for the Civil program, as well as the Mechanical Engineering and Construction Management programs IIRC.

What are some good classes to get your feet wet in engineering at BYU?

Principles of Engineering 101?

Archaea

4/2/20 4:12pm

pool design and construction 101

BlueFrog

4/2/20 4:12pm

Math 112 physics 121

Osteotome

4/2/20 4:14pm

Math 112 can be pretty tough / time consuming. It's a good intro

BC Calculus hasn’t been hard

The Math 112 / 113 (I'm pretty sure) have a BYU-only textbook and BYU-only ways

BYU-only-ways?

Two of my favorite classes. TA'd physics 121 with Dr Jones.

Is Underwater Basket Weaving still an option?

Definitely Chem 105

Hellish class by dr. Cannon. Ugh.

Chem 105 single-handedly destroyed my desire to be a surgeon

What about Chem 111?

Archaea

4/2/20 6:49pm

Yes 111 112 >> 105 Dr Eliot Butler made for challenging freshmen Chem E

i loved Dr. Butler. He was brilliant.

Archaea

Absolutely, true renaissance man. Really challenged you that with physics 121

Osteotome

4/2/20 7:08pm

You are my vintage. I loved him as he was brilliant but didn't act that way.

What kind of engineering?

It partly depends on which type of engineering you are looking at.

Thanks. I guess my question is what classes are there that will help in deciding

Are EE the brightest or is that just folklore?

Archaea

4/2/20 6:50pm

Well, I'm biased since I'm an EE myself....

It is supposed to be the toughest major outside of physics at Cal Tech.

Archaea

I’m biased but Chem E was pretty difficult, loved Civ E Statics and dynamics

All of you are smarter than I. I struggled with Organic Chem because I was lazy.
