Does it hurt to not take physics and apply for engineering?

you don’t really need physics for biomed. engineering or chemical engineering (or even materials science). You do need it for civil, mech, EE.

I believe every ABET-accredited engineering curriculum must require at least two semesters of calculus-based physics, including mechanics and electricity/magnetism. Most also require a semester of modern physics as well.
