<p>I was currently looking to become an environmental engineer but never looked at what type of sciences i would need, Im trying to stay away from chemistry since Im doing so hot in AP chem. I love pre cal and physics so far though, and what are the differences between engineers anyways?</p>

<p>Find a university that offers engineering, and compare the graduation requirements for several different engineering majors. You will find out which of them require chemistry, and how much chemistry.</p>
<p>I can’t think of an engineering discipline that doesn’t require chemistry…especially environmental engineering</p>
<p>Here is an easy to read guide to the different Eng’g disciplines:</p>

<p>That’s a good resource!
Here are a few others:
US Dept. of Labor has very detailed info and employment projections for each job title:
[BLS</a> Search Results](<a href=“BLS Search Results”>BLS Search Results)</p>
<p>These other source of info are easier to view, less data driven:

<p>I can really appreciate that Chemistry isn’t your favorite and you might want to avoid going too far in depth in college. Looking at each school’s curriculum for your intended major will certainly give you a good idea of what to expect, however I do agree with M2CK. I don’t know of any engineering programs that don’t require first year engineering students to take chemistry. Depending on your specific field of engineering you may not require any further chemistry. The best favor you can do for yourself, besides becoming educated about what majors required what courses, is to prepare well and try your hardest to pass the AP Chem exam with as high a score as possible (different schools give credit at different scores 3,4 or 5). My son is studying mechanical engineering and despite B+'s in the class really did not like it one bit. He gladly took the AP credit at his university and never looked back. He was so relieved not to have to take the lecture and lengthy lab that other students were dealing with, who may have taken it in high school but didn’t score high enough on the AP. Your grade in the class is not a factor for credit, only the AP score. He was able to move on to a required course for second semester which was much less crowded.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you.</p>
