<p>Can you call the dean to find out? </p>
<p>Before engineering first, students are required to take linear algebra, 1 course in computer programming, and 1 year of physics. If I am not mistaken, those are not required anymore. The engineering first are supposed to integrate the relevant materials in those classes and apply them to real engineering problems. So technically, if you already have a year of physics, and a programming class at your former school, you may be able to convince them to just take a linear algebra class and place out the whole engineering first sequence.</p>
