<p>How difficult are the courses and what are most of the teachers like? Information would be appreciated.. also is the average SAT score for the school similar to the average score for one that gets accepted into the engineering school?</p>
<p>the ones in engineering school (on average) get higher SAT scores than maryland average. Most of the people I know got at least 700 math SAT1. There's also an invitation-only program for about 50 engineering students / year (most with SAT at least 1550). This program is intended for the brightest to stay instate. They take the same course as anyone in engineering plus some others.</p>
<p>It depends on what your definition of "difficult" is! Some courses in electrical/mechanical are excruciating</p>
