How many classes did you take with other engineering students that other STEM majors (say, chemists) did not also take?

My CS program was "in" the engineering school but after freshman year the required curriculums diverged greatly. Sure, we both took Physics III and whatnot, but so did all of the other decidedly not engineer STEM students. Even the required/suggested math classes diverged after Calc II (with engineers skipping Calc III and taking IV instead, and most CS students taking III but not IV.

We didn't even take the same ethics courses. CS took computer ethics while other engineers took engineering ethics.
