Title: What subjects do i take to study Engineering in the future
Post by: s-j-123 on September 22, 2009, 07:15:23 am

I wanna go to a good Uni in Canada for engineering, im Taking: Maths, Biology, Physics and Economics.

Do i need to take chemistry cause if i do then it will be too difficult.
Also i got a C in Eng Lang and a B in Eng Lit, are these grades OK or do i need to retake it

Thanks a lot

Chem not essential. Will you get a scholarship? He not dont worry about your grades. They want your money

I really agree with astar. Unis are increasing becoming more business like. Chem is essential depending on what you wanna study, if you want to study chemical engineering, chem is essential, please specify exacly what you wanna study. But no matter what you need Physics and Math.

P.S. if u hav cash, dont go for Canadian unis, they are rlly average.

Even MIT is good for engineering but you need to be way brilliant to get in....I'm working towards it....If I pass IIT here, then maybe I will be able to get into MIT....
