<p>I think you have humanities mixed up with social science. Economics is a social science, and thus does not fill up the 6 credits humanities (English, philosophy, religion, etc.) requirement for engineers.</p>
<p>Also, I’m pretty sure EECS 182 is equivalent to ENGR 101, so you can’t get credit for both of them…Meanwhile, EECS 203 is more math-based class that has programming implications (from what I read on Wikipedia and the course catalog). For EECS 203, you only need Calc I as a prerequisite and it is a required course for Comp Sci or Comp Eng majors; so you could have gotten a head start on your major requirements, and thus why your advisor recommended it to you.</p>
