: What high school courses should I take to be prepared to take a major in either Mechanical or Civil Engineering?

Mathematics (from geometry to pre-cal, maybe even up to BC Calculus) and Physics (maybe up to Mechanics of AP Physics) are the most basic classes. And you want to know English well for Technical writings later… Then other electives will help as well: AutoCAD or drafting classes, any kind of shop classes, engineering technology/industrial engineering classes, and maybe even Statistic class or lab science class to help you understand your experiment results. And finally, just by joining the team, you will be on a much higher ground than any other high school student out there trying to get into Mechanical/Civil Engineering.
