I know for a fact that he did not take any Physics because he had AP credit for both Physics B and C. Which AP Physics exam did you take in high school? If you took Physics B, you only get credit for 201 and 202. If you took Physics C, you get credit for 201 or 218 (if you got at least a 3 on the Mechanics section) and you get credit for 202 or 208 or 219 (if you got at least a 3 on the E &M portion). So…if you took Physics C and passed it, you should go ahead and accept it. AP Physics B gives you credit for basic college physics, and I don’t think you degree plan lists Physics 201 or 202, right (I might be wrong…)? So I wouldn’t accept the Physics B credit. (more info on AP credit here: http://mars.tamu.edu/testingsite/PDFfiles/AP.PDF)

If I am correct, the only science course you ever need to take in your major (assuming you have enough AP Physics credits) is Chem 107/117, which you’ve already listed on your schedule.

I’m not so sure about the concurrent enrollment of ENGR 111 + 112 though. I’ll be sure to ask him when I see him tomorrow!
