Ask an Engineer Answer: What classes should I take?

What classes should I take?

Q: I'm currently in grade 10 and had to choose subjects. My subjects include science and maths.  What subjects do you recommend I take if I'm thinking of becoming an electrical engineer? –Ella

 

Hi Ella,  Math and science sounds pretty good :) I would recommend taking algebra, calculus, physics and chemistry. But don't forget to balance things out with some of your other interests (maybe music or history or a language something). As much as I love science, sometimes it's good to take a break from it; arts, the humanities and languages can be really enjoyable and they make you a more well-rounded person.  Also, in my experience, when I study something completely unrelated to science, it actually gives one part of my brain a break so that when I come back to math or scientific problems, I'm more refreshed and can focus a lot better.  I hope that helps!  -Yasmin
