<p>I’m looking at the engineering curriculum that my son is taking. As a freshman, he is taking a 3 hour course called Engineering Problem Solving as well as a 1 hour Engineering Seminar and next semester he’ll take EPS II, 3 more hours. Every time I talk to him, he is working on his EPS homework. He says it’s not hard, it’s just a lot of work. First semester sophomore year are 3 courses totaling 8 hours which are fundamentals of engineering courses and the whole math sequence from Calc I through DiffEq as well as Statistics is through the math department but it’s specifically for engineering majors. I can’t imagine going through the first three years without any engineering classes. If my son decides engineering is not for him, he can easily switch into something else. His school is way into coops and internships so we figure he probably won’t graduate in 4 years but he definitely has the option if he stays on the schedule and doesn’t drop anything. I would just hate to have someone transfer into the engineering portion of their education and decide it’s not for them.</p>
