Deadpool Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi all! So unfortunately my school does not offer IB Design and Technology, and I was wondering what is a good replacement for it. I want to pursue engineering (Mechanical, Computer, Electrical, etc), but not chemical engineering. And I wanted to take HL Math, Physics, and Design Tech. But knowing that my school didnt offer it, I had no option but to choose between Computer Science or Chemistry So what would be a better replacement knowing that I want to pursue engineering in the future, hoping to go to a very good university? And does this replacement need to be taken at the HL level, or can it be SL? Thanks! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB`NOT`ez Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Tbh afaik IB Design Technology is generally seen as a "soft" subject and you're really better off taking either CS or Chemistry. Either of those options are excellent for engineering; take CS if you really enjoy Maths, Chemistry if not so much. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thanks! So regardless of which subject I choose to take, is it okay taking it at the SL level, and bumping up Economics to HL? Would this affect my transcript in a bad way, if I take CS or CHem as an SL, with Econ as HL? I already have the engineering prerequisites, HL Math and Physics.

IB`NOT`ez Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 you should be able to find an answer here: https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.ibsurvival.com/topic/41800-what-are-six-ideal-subjects-in-the-ib-curriculum-for-someone-seeking-to-pursue-mechanical-or-electrical-engineering/&source=gmail&ust=1476363064798000&usg=AFQjCNEtsSG4TZbbM5G8Zhrp5g6hlHM8KQ it should be fine -- honestly dont know why so many people like economics lol bores the hell out of me Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
