<p>To go to medical school, you need to complete a sequence of about 10 courses with 1 year of general biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, and such. There is a specific “track” that most people follow, although it might differ slightly from school to school.</p>
<p>Is this the same for engineering? For example, what would be the typical course sequence to earn a degree in electrical engineering? chemical engineering?</p>
<p>The easiest way to answer your question is to point you towards a curriculum listed on a school’s website. It’ll tell you all the required courses and what the prerequisites are for each.</p>
<p>It really depends on your school…you will find that the engineering curriculuim is always changing, and different schools might be at different “evolutionary” stages… for example, at my first college, statics and dynamics were seperate classes. at the school I now attend, statics and dynamics got married to create one 5 hour course…</p>
<p>For the most part, the same material gets taught at different schools because many departments at most schools are ABET accredited. It tends to standardize things, but there’s still flexibility as carnelian showed.</p>
<p>You’ll find more differences once you get to the upper level courses, especially if you have the option of concentrations and/or technical electives. </p>
<p>If you’re looking for a specific plan that will tell you to take Course A, B, 4, and H in order to graduate with an engineering degree at any school, you’re not going to find one.</p>
