<p>Mississippi publics are not too difficult to get into either.</p>

<p>However, as noted previously, engineering is not generally considered an easy major. Many less well prepared or less motivated students do poorly in the beginning math and physics courses and get “weeded out”.</p>
<p>You may want to assess your readiness for calculus with these placement tests. Engineering students start off with calculus, so a strong knowledge of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry from high school math is essential.

<p>If you need to take remedial math courses before calculus, you may want to consider starting at a community college and then transferring to a four year school as a junior to complete an engineering degree. Starting in remedial math courses means that you will need to take extra time, meaning that it will take longer than two years at the community college before you are transfer-ready, but the extra years at a community college will cost less than extra years at a four year school.</p>
