What should I study before entering engineering university?
Before entering engineering university, review high school mathematics, especially functions, calculus, and vectors, along with the basics of physics, including mechanics and electromagnetism. Chemistry or biology may also be important depending on your intended field. Building a habit of reading technical English and, if you have time, learning basic programming can help with your studies after enrollment.
Key points
- Do not just memorize formulas and solution methods; learn to explain the underlying reasoning.
- Review difficult topics using your high school textbooks and basic exercises.
- Check the introductory courses and recommended materials for your intended department.
Things to check
- The subjects emphasized and any assignments before enrollment vary by university and department, so check official information.
