<p>I can't choose these two majors. I want some challenging courses, but not crazy courses.</p>
<p>Which one is easier? What about chem and comp sci?</p>
<p>Organic Chem vs C#,C which one is more difficult?</p>
<p>also for career, is software engineer better than pharmacist?</p>
<p>This completely depends on you as an individual. I find chem classes to be super easy and intuitive, and computer programming classes to be fairly difficult. But I have a friend who finds computer programming to be natural and straight-forward, and chem classes to be confusing and challenging…I guess that’s why I’m a ChemE and he’s an EECS major…</p>
<p>even organic chem is easy?
also beside individuals, how is it different? is chem just memory work and math work?</p>
<p>Organic Chemistry isn’t all that bad but its not just memorization work and there is little to no math (Gen Chem has a little bit but its nothing too difficult). Organic Chemistry relies a lot of intuition and the interaction of various factors of molecules, such as size, crowding and spacial arrangement, if you can break down problems and see the different actions at play the class isn’t all that hard. You’ll probably find that OChem isn’t even close to one of the hardest classes in the ChemE curriculum. </p>
<p>Also if you are looking to go from ChemE to Pharmacy I wouldn’t really recommend going the route of ChemE. ChemE will not focus on topics that would be helpful in pharmacy school such as BioChem.</p>
<p>
LOL</p>
<p>
What are you talking about? C# and C? I mean I can make a joke out of C# and C and C++ in terms of chemistry…</p>
<p>Computer science is not just about programming or about C# and C. I would be really surprise if any college teaches C# LOL</p>
<p>Why do you think about computer science??</p>
<p>You need to do some research. If you want to be a pharmacist, chem E is a bad choice. Look at the requirements for entry to your local pharmacy school. They typically require biochem, biology, stats and communication classes you would not typically take as a chemE. They will not care that you have completed a “difficult” major. Most aspiring pharmacists are chemistry, biochemistry or occasionally biology majors. In our state you pretty much need to be a straight A student.
Check out this list from U Ga:

Pretty easy courses by engineering standards, but you have to complete them all and that will be difficult when following an engineering curriculum (and you need all A’s).</p>
<p>some Chem E programs allow you to do a BioChem sequence which would cover most if not all the pharmacy requirements. But it will be difficult; not impossible, but difficult. maybe consider doing what the pre med’s do and major in something easier while getting the requirements in. </p>
<p>I assuming that you’re an incoming freshmen. If you are, then Id suggest not worrying about majors right now. just take some intro classes and then decide</p>
<p>Magneto, there are some benefits to declaring a major including scholarships and being able to co-op earlier if you can take courses in your field. </p>
<p>I am a computer engineering major from UT, I can’t speak about anything chem related, but computer science is really stout here, but so are our chemistry weeders. In my computer science class, first semester we had like 104 students, we ended with 55, we started second semester, data structures, with 34 and lost about a quarter of the class.</p>
<p>It is not for the feint of heart, or more accurately, the impatient. It takes takes to finish labs completely are properly sometimes 10-15 hrs, depending on how well you understand the material and what it is that you are doing.</p>
<p>However, don’t make your choice based off of what is harder or easier, don’t confuse something that is easier with something that you like!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>oh what i mean is difficulties to learn computer programming language and difficulty levels of the computer software engineering classes</p>
<p>
yeah my school’s chem E covers most of pharmacy requirements; it’s a alot of work though</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>thanks for really good advice. If i’ m not sure which one i like the most, should i take couple basic courses and choose my major?</p>
<p>
Pardon me for a second. Not quite sure about the second case.</p>
<p>Learning basic synatx, how to solve a problem by programming is a matter of efforts you put into it. Some people just never have that patience. If you want to get more out of just knowing basic syantx and basic programming - you will have to invest more time too. They are not meant to be easy. You can be a book nerd, getting As in your class, but you can’t program any of the data structure after getting the credits - NO GOOD.</p>
<p>LOL.<br>
The moral of the story is: enjoy it. Think more. Put some times into the subject, and you will master it soon or later. It may takes several years. You cannot be an adroit pilot unless you have several years of flying!</p>
<p>Most of the ChemE and Pre-Pharm requirements overlap- Gen Chem, O Chem, Bio (Can serve as electives), Comm (Engineering Comm), Stats, etc. Biochem isn’t required for most pharm schools (At least in TX)…</p>
<p>
My school teaches C# in one course. I really wish it had a separate Java course.</p>
<p>webass, which course is that??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>thank you for your advice:)</p>
<p>jwxie, it’s called “Mobile Systems Programming”. Basically, C# is needed for Windows Phones. But I don’t understand why my school cares about Windows Phones instead of heavily relying on Android and iOS.</p>
<p>It shouldn’t matter what is easier. If you really want to be an engineer you should take whatever course of study that will get your there, regardless of difficulty. All engineering majors are difficult and if you expect it to be in anyway easy you will be in for a big surprise.</p>
