<p>there are clearly no chemical engineers in here...are you kidding me? theres always a HARD time consuming project/homework to work on. and you need to take 18 credits each semester to graduate on time(this is from a school ranked 15 in the overall engr rankings.i can only imagine what chem E's at more rigorous schools are going through. At my school it is axiomatic that chemE is by far the hardest major on campus.</p>
<p>Curves are not good. If a test was hard and people do bad, then well it helps people.</p>
<p>But if a teacher gives a easy test and everybody gets from 90-100, then well a 90 will get you an F, and a 100 a A, a 94, 95 or 96 should get ya a C.</p>
<p>How does that sound? Ive had professors do it before, it sucked, but at the beginning of the semester, he asked us and we all wanted a curve. Alot of people failed that term including me.</p>
<p>Wow, I never heard of anybody curving UP!</p>
<p>I've only heard of curving up at NYU Stern. The reasoning I heard behind that was to encourage competition among the students.</p>

I took an intro physics lab in my sophomore year, that was only 1 credit, but probably took 15-18 hours outside of the 3 hour lab time.

<p>I feel you Keefer. Took the same course description - got 2 units. Had to write 20-25 pages of lab reports each week, which took ~12-15 hours counting the editing.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's pure idiocy.</p>
<p>what is the hardest engineering major? I'm thinking of aero/mech for undergrad and going into aero for grad. If I like mech more I might go into mech for grad, but more likely aero. Is computer hardware/software engineering hard?</p>
<p>EE or CSE thats all i think</p>
<p>EE and CS/CSE are generally the toughest</p>
<p>I hereby lodge my annual complaint that everyone thinks their own engineering field is the most difficult, and that difficulty is subjective, and that once you get into the higher levels of engineering it's typically a whole different ball game...</p>
<p>Seriously. All engineering disciplines are tricky, and some prove to be trickier for some people than for others. I know some hard-work-over-natural-talent people who've made it through some really difficult programs, and I know some really brilliant folks who've done poorly in some fields considered easier. If it's what you want to do, if you have some talent for math and science, if you're willing to put in the effort to succeed, you'll make it through an engineering program.</p>
