<p>@Ralph4 and eduparent, So from your child’s experiences, if my son passes AP Calc AB, do you think he should be fine going into Calc II? (sorry this is going away from the original thread). What about AP physics AB and AP physics C? </p>
<p>Also Ralph4, my son is considering MatE or EE. He applied early as a chemistry major hoping to go into materials and polymers only because SLO does not offer ChemE. He applied as a ChemE major at all other schools. He realized after applying that he is more interested in the engineering aspect rather than the chemistry aspect. We noticed MatE has a lot of chemistry in it. What was your child’s experience in the program and can you tell me what sorts of job opportunities he is seeing in that degree? We didn’t hear a lot about the MatE dept during our engineering tour because none of the student ambassadors were from that department. We also noticed that MatE is doing some work with nanotechnology, an area my son is really interested in. We would love to hear from someone with experience going through that major.</p>
