How difficult is the Rutgers Engineering honors program?

<p>How bout if I'm in Electrical/Computer Engineering?
Describe the kind of lifestyle I will most likely live if I wish to get at least a 3.8.</p>

<p>I am a top student in my school (top 1%) with over 2200 SAT score.</p>

<p>Eh honors is no harder than regular. Arguable easier even since your classes are smaller. How hard it is depends on you, my roommate is ee/cs or whatever the engineering program is called and he thinks its pretty easy. How are your programming skills? Can you comprehend math at a high level? If so it should be fine, you’ll need to study but every engineer needs to study. And remember come in humble, top 1% and 2220+ doesn’t make you special. Half the kids I know are like that, I’m like that, both my roommates are like that and many kids are better than that. gl hf</p>

<p>How small are the classes for the kids in the Honors Engineering program?<br>
How many kids are in it that program each year?
How much interaction do those kids have with the rest of the kids in the Engineering program? How are the Professors?
Interesting? Interested in interacting with Undergraduate students?
Do undergraduates have to fight off graduate students to do research?</p>

<p>My son is interested in Engineering, but not computer science - otherwise open to which major. Do kids have to come in knowing what direction they want to go in?</p>

<p>Thanks,

<p>ParentSparkle, during freshman year, either during the fall or spring, students will take a 1-credit course called Engineering Orientation. Students learn about each area of engineering from a representative of each department (sadly on some occasions, the presenter did not even show up). It might help some people get acquainted with each department at Rutgers, and it may influence their decision. I knew which type of engineering I wanted to do from the start, and most of the information in the Engineering Orientation lectures could be learned just by googling each major. You declare your major by April of your first year, and start taking courses under the respective department by sophomore year.</p>
