<p>so the guy saying its easy is wrong?</p>
<p>actually, I'm right. I'm a Cornell student. I see this BS easy as anything engineering stuff all day.</p>
<p>What's your major ameechee?</p>
<p>Electrical Engineering.</p>
<p>It's a complete joke at Cornell. I was hoping to switch into Hotel Admin, but they wouldn't let me since the Hotel courses are a lot more specialized and advanced.</p>
<p>***..........alright i am so fing CONFUSED....I heard Cornell is one of the hardest engineering schools in the country. (I am planning on doing electrical engineering) And this Ameechee guy tells me its a walk in the park. SO WHO IS RIGHT, Ameechee or COrnellEDer????</p>
<p>Me...I'm an actual student here</p>
<p>Advanced? No offense to any hotelies here but one of my freshman year roommate's practicals was following a maid around and learning how to fold bed sheets. This was while I was trying to synthesize and achieve 96%+ purity of isopentyl acetate for my organic chem practical.</p>
<p>"no, it really is incredibly easy. I've seen the work that they have to do.</p>
<p>It rarely goes above things such as "Calculate the derivative of 2[x^5(e^(6x))]"</p>
<p>It's ridiculous. And people have the balls to say "Oooh engineering is so time consuming...oooh the prelims are soo hard.... waaa waaa waaa."</p>
<p>If they want something challenging and really intellectually stimulating, they should take something in Hotel management."</p>
<p>"Electrical Engineering.</p>

<p>I smell **<strong><em>ting. You refer to engineers in the third person in the previous post (I've seen the work that they have to do.) and then claim you are EE yourself. You sound like you are just out to be an *</em></strong> to people on these forums. Obviously engineering comes easy to some people and with that comes good grades but I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that its 30minutes per week (per class) of problem sets.</p>
<p>You also claim you want to switch from EE to Hotel...this is extremely far fetched and is impossible to do (as I understand) and the chances of a person actually wanting to do it are extremely low too.</p>
<p>Stop menacing this forum...</p>
<p>lol. I know people who are amazingly smart. The cream of the engineering crop. There is no way anything Ameechee is saying is even remotely correct. He is sarcastic or arrogant.</p>
<p>I am a student here, BTW</p>
<p>The general pecking order of Cornell colleges in regards to difficulty of courses, etc is:</p>
<ol>
<li>Hotel Management</li>
<li>Arts & Sciences</li>
<li>Architecture</li>
<li>ILR</li>
<li>Agriculture</li>
<li>Human Ecology</li>
<li>Engineering</li>
</ol>
<p>This is basically because all of the courses engineers have to take are basically what you've had in high school. There's almost no new material. Even the little bit that is new is presented in an almost babyish manner. You class of 2010 engineers may be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to get a 3.8+</p>
<p>Yeah, I forgot I had already taken the Berkely/MIT introductory physics series in high school, as well as Nanotechnology. I think most high schools offer these. My bad....</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>lol could it be any mroe obvious that this guy is a moron and lying...lol.</p>
<p>Yeah, engineering is the easiest program at Cornell. </p>
<p>Napkin folding is by far the hardest class.</p>
<p>"This is basically because all of the courses engineers have to take are basically what you've had in high school."</p>
<p>This should only last a semester or two...</p>
<p>ok well basically amchee is a fcktard because he says that the Hotel school is the hardest when on the contrary it is quite possibly the easiester with the lowest gpa needed to get on to the dean's list...so yeah...</p>
<p>alright i get it amchee is dum....but someone tell me how long would i be doing homework on an average night? PS i am accepting no AP credit in math and science so i am starting in the beginner classes.</p>
<p>Seriously, most engineering homework should total no more than 1 hour a day. Anymore than that, and quite frankly that's just sad.</p>
<p>Begineer classes (Math 191, Phys 112) are all EXTREMELY easy. You don't even have to go to lecture. The prelims rarely go anything beyond standard book practice problems. (plus there are usually only 7 questions on a prelim, so they usually take you no more than 30 minutes to finish)</p>
<p>extremely easy for some is not extremely easy for all. If 90% of the people here say engineering is difficult, and you say it's very easy, perhaps neither is wrong, and you just happen to be very gifted with engineering related courses.</p>
<p>I'm sure David Ortiz thinks it's easy to hit home runs...does this logic make sense?</p>
<p>90% of the people say engineering is EASY. Especially courses like Phys 112, where you'd have to be completely inept to get anything less than an A-</p>
<p>I think what Ameechee is saying is that for most Cornell Engineers the intro material isn't that difficult, however getting a good grade in those intro classes is difficult because of the caliber of the Cornell Engineering students.</p>
