What are some intro CSE or Engineering classes to dip my toes into prospective majors?

Academics

I'm a business student specializing in information systems who's quite interested in comp sci and engineering as a whole. What are some classes I could take to see what majoring in either of these would be like?

CSE 1223 is the intro CSE course, and will teach you the basics

This is a good answer. It'll teach you real fast if you like (or can't stand) CSE.

I have taken that actually. I definitely enjoyed it. What would be another class to take?

You could look into the CIS minor and follow that

What screws most people up is the math. Many practitioners will not use the advanced mathematics in their jobs (some do) but it teaches you the logic, analysis and problem solving skills you will need for success.

My suggestIon is taking as high a level of math as you can stomach, it will not be wasted no matter what your career choice ends up being.
