Which college classes are you most thankful for taking while majoring as an engineer?

Cole:

In my experience, Physics was the most useful set of classes to prepare me for future engineering courses. The concepts for forces, electricity, light wave and thermodynamics that I learned in Physics, I encountered in later engineering courses. The challenges I faced in acquiring an understanding of physical forces was well-rewarded later on.

I’ve made myself the same question several times, and the response that I will give you may surprise you, as in my case the classes that I thought would be the less significant may have been the most important ones. After a number of years of working experience I’ve noticed how important it was to take all the basic “hard” engineering classes, but there was this “entrepreneurship” class that I took thinking that it was a waste of time, but after all these years I realize this class was probably the most important one.

Workplace nowadays can become quite challenging and one of the most important aspects in your studies is to have the ability to either work for a company, or work for yourself by actually “creating your own company”; “entrepreneurship” classes provide you with essential tools that you need in case you want to take your own route.
