AI Thread Summary
Excluding biology from course selection will primarily impact opportunities in biochemical, biomedical, and environmental engineering fields. For most other engineering disciplines like civil, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering, the chosen courses—French, Graphic Design, Chemistry, Functions, Advanced Functions, and Physics—are suitable. It's also important to ensure that calculus is included in the curriculum, as it is essential for engineering studies. Overall, the selected courses align well with a general engineering path, barring specific biological engineering careers. Prioritizing math and science courses will support future engineering pursuits effectively.

My school had us complete course selection in two days so I made the rash decision of excluding biology. What engineering professions will this bar me from?

Note: I will be taking French, Graphic design, Chemistry, Functions, Advanced functions and Physics. Is this a good group of courses for engineering?

I don't know if you are talking high school or freshman college courses, I assume high school, but if you have any leaning at all toward civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, aeronautical, nuclear , or structural engineering, you won't need biology. It would be helpful if you were interested in say biochemical or biomedical engineering, or environmental sciences, as examples, but otherwise, it is not necessary. Don't forget calculus!

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
