    What would engineering be like with no physics background?

    Recently I am considering studying engineering in uni but my problem is I haven't done any physics in yr 11/12. I have not decided on what kind of engineering I'd want to head into but physics is assumed knowledge for basically all the engineering courses. I do take biology and 3u maths, not sure if that would be of much help but would a bridging course be enough to cover physics? Or would it be close to impossible for me to catch up?

    Thanks for the advice.

    Take a bridging course, you should be fine
    I call people I don’t like ‘rock eaters’ because it makes them question their very existence. Some will wonder why I called them a rock eater and this will torture them to the very end, even though they have never eaten a rock. Others will remember the time they ate a rock and feel ashamed and confused.

    It wouldn't really matter. Anything important from high school physics would be retaught to you at uni.

    not all of it, a lot is assumed knowledge

    (I may have skipped a few lectures recently)
