I'm a little concerned for college math, especially since i haven't taken an algebra course since my sophomore year of high school.
Basically, I'm simply looking for some compelling discussion and advice from other engineering students. Any kinds of tips or trips on anything from dealing with teachers, classmates, assignments, group assignments, specific math problems, or any other aspect of being a college student majoring in engineering.
I'm a male and I'll be Attending Old Dominion University in Virginia. I am also a member of the drum line (tenor player) for their marching band! also i wont be taking english or literature classes because i finished them through dual enrollment courses so any tips on fun or enlightening general education classes that synergize well with being an engineer would be cool as well! Also I am leaning towards mechanical engineering but advice and opinions on other branches would be awesome!
