Any suggestions of what I should take?

If you were not in the group required to take python or do not have a strong level of programming - take a programming course.

Knowing python (or similar) is extremely beneficial to all engineering disciplines. It is an excellent skill/tool to have when you can quickly create and run a script to automate tasks, perform statistical calculations, and extract just the data you want from a large data-set.

If A&M does not have something for you, look online and see if the university will accept it.
