Question
I have a project that i have to do on structural engineering. I myself am looking into architecture so i know i should know more. Anyways the question is what are some classes that are require for a structural engineer that actually help you?
What classes can someone take in high school to prepare for structural engineering?  

Answer
Hello Ivonne,

Well if youre referring to classes in highschool they would be:

- Maths
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Engineering Studies

Thats some subjects that are useful for a future in engineering. However, you get taught that in university anyway only on a much deeper level. Hope that answers your question.


Warm Regards,
Jeanette

I will explain unclear concepts and suggest approaches to solving problems, but would prefer not to completely solve homework problems for you. If you are completely stumped on homework/assignment I will do my best to try and guide you in the right direction. Also willing to give advice on issues not related to study although related to civil engineering.
