How often do engineers use computer science???

I'm in high school(junior) and i am taking computer science pre-ap ( B average), would another year be necessary if i plan to major in engineering physics???

How often do engineers use computer science???
Yeah, i'm a mechanical engineer right now and I thought i was done with computer science, but almost all of my classes require pretty good programming knowledge and I actually have to do lots of homework and projects with Matlab and similar programs. You'll most likely need a strong base for any kind of engineering.
Reply:I'd stick with it. At university you'll have to do some computor science subjects anyhow, doing it now will make it easier then. Whether or not you use those skills at work depends on the job, however having programming ability is a useful skill to have up your sleeve.
