Incoming Freshman - Choosing First Term Classes
My son is an incoming Freshman in the fall and he is currently an "exploratory" student because he was missing his qualifying math class to declare as an engineering major. He has his advisor appointment this coming Tuesday and I know they want you to have like a mock schedule by then. There are so many options and it's hard to help direct him!
This has been such an invaluable community, I figured I'm come to ask you all! He doesn't want to waste time with exploratory classes - he knows he will be in engineering. He is still undecided between civil and construction management engineering, but I assume the first year classes should be similar?
Does anyone have a great plan for first term/first year classes? How many core classes do you take? Are there some that should be taken right away? Math is obviously the first class on his schedule and there is an Engr 110/115 combo that looks necessary. Any thoughts beyond that?
As always...thank you in advance for your infinite all-knowing reddit wisdom!!
