Hi!
I am interested of getting the curriculum that one student have to carry  
out to receive a B.S. in Physics (as a matter of fact, I dont know if B.S.  
in Physics is the correct expression). I am a student in Physics  
Engineering at Monterrey Tech (in MEXICO) and our curriculum is:
1st. Semester: Economy, French I, Mathematics for Engineering I (Calculus  
and Advanced Calculus), Chemistry (Organic and Inorganic), and Computation  
I (Integrated software: Word Processors, Databases, etc.).
2nd. Semester: Physics, Advanced Writing, French II, Mathematics for  
Engineering II (Calculus of Several Variables), Probability and  
Statistics.
3rd. Semester: Computation II (Introduction to Computer Science trough  
Pascal), Oral Communication, French III, Magnetism and Electricity,  
Mechanics, Differential Equations.
4th. Semester: Electric Circuits I, Optics, Partial Differential  
Equations, Linear Algebra, Statistics I, Developing of Business Spirit  
(Desarrollo de Emprendedores).
5th. Semester: Numerical Methods, Electric Circuits II, Modern Physics,  
Mathematical Methods, Complex Variable, Digital Image Processing.
6th. Semester: Electronic I, Theoretical Mechanics I, Modern Physics  
Laboratory, Optics Laboratory, World's Social and Cultural Values,  
Thermodynamics I, Holograms.
7th. Semester: Electronics II, Laboratory of Electronics I,  
Electromagnetical Theory, Theoretical Mechanics II, Social and Cultural  
Values in Mexico and Latinoamerica, Optical materials.
8th. Semester: Laboratory of Electronics II, Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear  
Physics, Professional Ethics, Optical Fibers, Topics of Physics I.
9th. Semester: Solid State, Development of Physics Proyects, Laboratory of  
Nuclear Physics (you may guess what happens if a student flunk an exam  
=-), Laboratory of Solid State, Total Quality Control, Lasers, Topics of  
Physics II.

And that's all folks: you get the Physics Engineer grade. Is this  
competitive? do we need a more indeep background? is it ok?
Actually -and if you have and average grade of B- you can take five  
courses more: Computers Architecture I, Digital Circuits, Microprocessors  
I and II, and Computers Architecture II). I will appreciate all of the  
responses, and -as always- if there is interest I will summarize. BTW, I  
am in my third semester =-).
Thanks:

Isidro Gerardo Avila-Calderon
