Accepting AP Physics credit in Ocean and Aerospace Engineering?

Honestly I would say that Physics is highly important in Aerospace Engineering. What goes up must come down, right? I’m also going into Aerospace Engineering, but I am not going for the dual degree like most. If I doubled in anything it would be AE and ME.

As for your question, maybe accept credit for Physics I and do Physics II at Virginia Tech? To be completely honest, skipping Calculus I and II for AP credit is great. It isn’t much different than it was in high school. However physics is a whole different game here. Physics applies to literally everything and in order to do a degree like Aerospace Engineering, which I would assume is mostly physics, I would make sure I had a great foundation in the course from the college where I am studying engineering. As for the part about Ocean engineering, I have no idea. I’ve never been really interested in Ocean Engineering.
