I'm currently a junior in high school, and I'm considering to major in engineering and attend the college of new jersey. I just wanted some input from current engineering students, and it would be really helpful if you are an engineering student at TCNJ. I'm just wondering what it is like and stuff. Thank you so much:)

Wow. No one answered this yet? Well, I don't go to TCNJ, but I am an engineering student. There is a LOT of math and science in engineering. Be prepared to derive and understand a lot of equations. If you're planing on doing mechanical engr., aerospace engr., or something similar, then the mechanics side of Physics is very important. Certain terms like pressure, force, velocity, acceleration, density, volume, temperature, heat, mass flow, etc. will appear a LOT in your studies, so try to fully understand what those mean in the scientific sense and how they relate to each other as early as possible. It is going to be tough. You're going to have to study a lot and work easily over a thousand plus science and math problems. Working a single problem for 30+ mins to get the wrong answer is not uncommon. However, once you get through these classes and start understanding the complex concepts, there is almost no greater feeling. Once you get through the curriculum and look back at what you've accomplished, you won't regret it.
