Chem/Elec @ McGill?

<p>Hey guys, so I've been looking at some of the engineering programs at McGill and I'm mostly between chemical and electrical engineering. </p>

<p>Basically my plan as of now is to get a bachelor's of engineering that's well recognized internationally and find a career right after undergrad. </p>

<p>What I've noticed is that the description of chemical engineering at McGill says it has a small department, 60 grads a year, does that mean it's such a difficult program that there are so many dropouts? or just that it is a small program normally?</p>

<p>I'm hoping for some opinions on whether chemical or electrical engineering would be a better choice if I plan on just receiving an undergrad degree and then going into a career with a big company. Also if anyone knows why the chemical engineering department at McGill is so small relatively speaking, please share. Thanks guys.</p>

<p>Where did you find that about 60 on the McGill site? If it’s a secondary site, ignore it (there are so many errors). I found this on the McGill site, which seems to not jive with that number:</p>

<p>No I found this on the main chemical engineering pdf on McGill, it says about 60 students are in the graduate class. here the link in fact: <a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/files/engineering/Chemical1.pdf[/url]”>http://www.mcgill.ca/files/engineering/Chemical1.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m a little concerned now, does that mean the graduation rate at McGill for chemical engineers is 50%?</p>

<p>Here, email the executive members of the chemE student society. They can give you the real scoop:</p>

<p>it is just a small department. The classes are tough but no tougher than electrical or mechanical. Don’t expect a 4.0 but if you work hard, expect a 3.5</p>
