<p>Even the more selective colleges offer engineering majors where that isn’t true. High school curricula haven’t historically included calculus and physics until relatively recently and many still don’t, so even the most selective schools often have their programs built for people who haven’t taken them. I still contend that most incoming engineering students these days have at least some exposure to the subjects though I don’t have a link to any statistics to back that up.</p>
<p>FWIW, even non-calculus-based physics is good in that it at least exposes students to the physical way of thinking.</p>
