Physics Requirments

Does anyone have experience with using course not in their undergraduate schools physics department count as a physics class for prerequisites?

For some background I have taken 4 total classes that my major considers to be physics courses, however three have been in the engineering school. I have taken statics, mechanics of materials, biomechanics in the engineering school, and physics 2 (engineer specific) in the physics department.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

You are wondering if ds believe that engineering physics differ from physics for mere mortals.

Without having the course descriptions in front of me, taking engineering classes with a physics emphasis should be fine. Here is what I would advise a student like yourself to say if asked about these classes: In statics, we covered rigid body equilibrium, forces, free body diagrams, Newton's Laws, etc. These topics are also covered in Physics 1, but we went into them in more detail and did lots of applications. These classes have Physics 1 and 2 as per-requisites.
