No. 2 - Physics (this will apply irrespective of what discipline: electrical, civil, telecomm etc. etc. but the dosages may be different) No.3 and No.4 Differ between biology and chemistry... for example, enviro will need some biology, whereas a civil engineer may not do any, yet a civil engineer will need to know a bit more chemistry to understand the bonding and such of cement, grout, etc. etc. I finished Telecommunication Engineering at University of Sydney (Australia) Quick edit: if you're asking so you know "which subjects to pic". I'd go with maths and physics as prerequisites and bio and chem as optional. You may need to do chem if you intend to do civil type engineering as opposed to something electrical (p.s. theories in chemistry will help you with, say, computer engineering, to understand things at atomic/sub-atomic level, but you'll get pretty much the same knowledge from physics) Hope that help. | ||

Industrial Engineering, hopefully by my second year. I know for sure it's Math and Physics, but I want to know what is more important between those two. As for bio/chem, I asked because I'm taking chemistry my first year (most likely) | ||

+ Show Spoiler + j/k Honestly I'd say math is the most important for most engineering (from personal experience, definitely in EE by far), but IE might be the exception. I know in my school's IE curriculum that IE requires 1 semester less math than most engineering and all sorts of introductory basics in many fields (intro statics, intro circuits/EE, intro materials science, etc.) So I'm thinking physics may be the most important, followed closely by math. Chemistry...may be important for an IE doing traditional work in the manufacturing field depending on the type of manufacturing being done I guess. Biology's definitely the least important. | ||

plus oftentimes in engineering you don't really need to "understand" the physics, just use it, and using it requires math. | ||
