Just thought I'd post the semester by semester breakdown for a mech. eng. degree. This is from University of South Florida. It maaay differ slightly univ. to univ., but I doubt it will too much

Re: Precursors to Engineering?
To double off 2turbo, here is my coursework so far... a normal courseload at my school is 4 courses. Engineers take 5 beginning sophomore year because our school was originally a 5-year engineering program that condensed bascially the same number of courses into 4 years... We are required to take at least 3 humanities or social sciences courses, but at least 1 in each division. We need at least one math or science elective. Also, we need to take a minimum of two technical mech. engineering electives beyond the required coursework.
Fall 03 (Frosh) ES101 - Introduction to Engineering + Intro to eng. Lab CHEM111 - General Chemistry + General Chem Lab MATH 162 - Calculus 2 (I started here because I had AP credit) FYS097 - First year seminar - freshman course to orient you to college work, based on writing papers on various topics, depending on the actual course you are in. Spring 04 (Frosh) MATH263 - Calculus 3 PHYS131 - Newtonian Dynamics (calc based physics) ES231 - Nature of Materials (material science course) ENG110 - College Writing - general English course focusing on (surprise) writing Fall 04 (sophomore) ECON101 - Intro to engineering (social science) ES225 - Engineering Professionalism and Ethics (exactly what it sounds like) ES226 - Statics MATH264 - Differential Equations PHYS132 - Electricity and Magnetism (worst class in the world) Spring 05 (soph) ECON211 - Intermediate Microeconomics (social science) ECON212 - Intermediate Macroeconomics (soc. science. I was minoring in Econ, but its too boring for me so I dropped it) ES230 - Strengths of materials ME210 - Manufacturing and Design (hands on manufacturing course where we design, machine, and build a small battery-powered "drag racer" for a schoolwide Mech. Engineering competition) ME240 - Dynamics Fall 05 (junior) MATH186 - Applied Statistics (math/science elective) ME331 - Instrumentation and Data Aquisition ME336 - Engineering Materials and Manufacturing (Tech. Elective) ME350 - Thermodynamics 1 ME353 - Engineering Design 1 Spring 05 (junior) ME352 - Dynamics of physical systems ME360 - Thermodynamics 2 ME362 - Fluid Mechanics ME371 - Engineering Design 2 (I only took 4 courses instead of 5 because I was ahead of where I needed to be in terms of coursework) Summer 06 (done on my own, not required by any means) INDS220 - Study Abroad in Italy... "studied" renaissance art (humanities) Fall 06 (senior, in progress) ME470 - Heat Transfer ME478 - Control Systems and Mechatronics (lecture) ME479 - Control Systems and Mechatronics Laboratory (course is so time intensive, the lab and course are seperate classes unlike all other courses at my school) ME484 - Applied Finite Element Analysis (Tech. Elective) ME497 - Senior Design Project 1 - I am on a design team building a car for the Society of Automotive Engineer's Formula car competition (FSAE) Spring 07 (senior, not yet started by me) ME475 - Thermo/Fluids Lab ME498 - Senior Design Project 2 Final three courses are free electives or tech electives if you still need to take them. I only need to take two since my graduation requirements are completed and I only need four courses this semester to have enough to graduate.

Re: Precursors to Engineering?
Yep indeed. that's mainly why engineering semesters avg 15 credits per semester rather than 12. The only lame thing I did was go through most of a chem. degree and then switch to engineering. whoops, now I have to redo physics, the labs and go through calcs, which sucks since my undergrad requirments have been filled so the classes I need pre req. w/ calc III or physics II, which I am finishing this semester. Now the spring can begin 15 credit semesters.

Re: Precursors to Engineering?
The uni I went to (not in the US) had an engineering course load equal to 1.5 EFTS (equivalent full time student).
Intermediate year = 48 points (42 is full time). 1st professional year = 10 courses, the calculus paper has double the usual course loading 2nd professional year = 12 courses 3rd professional year = 12 courses including a self directed project with double the usual course loading.
