Im looking into engineering when going to college next year?

Question:what kind of classes should i be taking and what should i prepare for?

Answers:
Usually 1st year engineers finish the basic calculus series while taking physics series and, depending on what engineer you are, the chemistry series or biology series. 2nd year students continue to take math: linear algebra, vector analysis, and differential equations. You begin to take some engineering classes as well. Most of the weeder engineering classes are taken during the 2nd year. So if you get get past the weeder classes on survive onto your 3rd year then you start taking the engineering classes specialized in your field. I think that most engineers have to take thermodynamics & heat transfer before they graduate. Those classes are to engineers as organic chemistry is to biologists. Everyone dreads them...

Bottom Line: If you plan on being an engineer, be prepared to do a TON of math, spend time at the computer lab, and writing lab reports.
you'll be taking a ton of math classes. everything from college algebra to trig. It also depends on what type of engineering you want to do. there are many fields: civil, computer, chemical, mechanical, etc.
All the basic pre-college classes, with an emphasis on math and science. If you haven't been preparing up until now, you won't be able to get them all in.
You should be ready for Calculus your freshman year in college, so you should at least be taking pre-calculus or trigonometry in high school. You will need Chemistry (which you probably already took) and Physics. Computers might be good if your school has that. You will need good English skills. Then just the usual high school classes.
