<p>I can’t find any website for a professor who teaches Mascl 110
What exactly is a materials science course?
Is it easier or harder than Chem 105?</p>
<p>I’m trying to avoid chem as much as possible. Me no like</p>
<p>I have no idea what Mascl 110 actually is. But as a warning for Chem 105 a/b- these are typical pre-med courses, so you will be stuck with tons of highly competitive pre-med students if you are in these courses. Just a word of warning.</p>
<p>Damn, I should have taken the AP chem test…</p>
<p>Hopefully Masc is easier, but if it isn’t is there any way to get out of taking chem by taking physics electives or sumn? Its just to satisfy GE category III anyway right?</p>
<p>Materials science is in the engineering school, so yah, you’re more unlikely to find pre-med majors in that class.</p>
<p>You’ll probably cover more about solids and bonding and crystalline structures, and less about general chem topics. </p>
<p>What is your major? Some majors require chem and some have alternatives, and some don’t require it at all.</p>
<p>If you are only looking to satisfy your cat III GE requirement, don’t take chem 105. There are GE science courses, specifically designed for non-science/engineering/premed majors to take, that are significantly easier. The only reason chem 105 and other courses are labeled as GE courses is because it would be ridiculous to require people who passed those to take a watered-down GE version.</p>
<p>Materials science is the chemistry that mechanical engineers need to know. More detail on fewer subject areas than Chem. All about steel alloys, plastics, etc.</p>
<p>I’m going to be a Mechanical Engineer, and in the Bulletin it said I had to take Chem 105, or 115, or material science</p>
<p>I would think your choice is obvious then. I think you will find MASC interesting.</p>
