<p>It depends on the specific AP credit. It might make a lot of sense to test out of calc. with AB or BC calc credit - and I think it makes sense to do so, so that you aren’t repeating material. In contast, having AP Physics credit probably still does not make it advisable to test out of the required physics classics for engineers, although it may technically be possible. I know people who double majored with engineering and a social science/ humanities subject, and many many more who had a minor in another subject, so it is absolutely possible to take a lot of other classes as an engin major. I think that is part of what makes swattie engineers so successful in the long term - they can really write, analyze texts, and communicate - skills which I think they pick up in the non engin part of the curriculum, and which you wouldn’t get going to a more technically oriented school.</p>
