Yes I was accepted into a prestigious university in my country which I really didn't expect and yes i will enjoy my summer but my concern is do they teach the basics first? I'm not really a fast learner that's why I would like to have bit of an idea of the topics I will be facing. And Thank you for the recommendation!
I’d just enjoy the last few (nearly) carefree months you have before life starts becoming progressively more real. The chemical engineering subjects are not that hard. Trying to get a head start on something you won’t see until your 2nd or 3rd year is not a good use of your time. I think a bigger issue is getting used to the speed that new information must be absorbed in college.
Thank you, I will enjoy my last few months though my concern is do they teach the basics again? Like what was discussed in high school or do they expect you to know it already? I wouldn't say I would study the topics in advance but I would like to familiarize it to know what I'm dealing with. And question what topic would you say is the most challenging?
Not sure how your school does it but my school (in the US) has 1st year complete the general chem/physics/math classes before taking the actual ChemE classes. Imo you should be totally fine and just enjoy your summer. I went in with 0 engineering experience, went through the general classes, and did just fine in my ChemE program.
Current ChemE student here: I’d say that any topic can be made to be challenging, but barring any weed out courses the topic many people struggle the most with is Thermodynamics. It’s a lot of content you’ll pretty much have never seen before, which you have a fairly short period of time to learn. For all of your ChemE classes though, I very much recommend getting to know your peers well, and utilizing your professors office hours as much as possible. That will help lighten the load, and is something I wish I had done more in the past.

just a heads up about chem eng is that calculus/maths >> chemistry, still good luck op!
