Chemical Engineers, what was the hardest part?

<p>What was the hardest part/classes of your college career?</p>

<p>OChem is probably one of the hardest classes they take. Probably hardest class for any major.</p>

<p>Are you serious?</p>

<p>i guess it depends highly on what type of minds you have.</p>

<p>i know some people who have strong quantitive skills just hate ochem and bio utterly.</p>

<p>on the other hand, some other people who suck at physics and math can handle ochem absolutely fine.</p>

<p>Yeah, Im just curious of what classes I should look forward to the most. :-)</p>

<p>I found general thermodynamics and control systems the most difficult. </p>

<p>Control systems is tricky because it is taught in third year and makes heavy use of differential equations (which were taught in first year thus implying heavy review). To this day, I still do not know how to prepare, read or interpret a Bode diagram!</p>

<p>Bode plots. Gotta love em.</p>

<p>I agree with you though. Controls can be made extremely hard, depending on your professor. I'd imagine it's harder than the straight memorization of OChem.</p>

<p>I'm not a chem eng major but I took many chem courses (double major bio/chem) and many of my courses overlap with the chem eng majors. I think the hardest is p-chem and thermo. </p>

<p>To me o-chem is like adorable baby panda if compared to the difficulty of advanced bio-chem and immunology. those things suck your soul.</p>
