How Hard is Engineering? Is it for me?

<p>Really how hard is engineering compared to classes like the Calculus Series?</p>

<p>I am having a little hard time with the Areas and Volumes applications of Integrals(nothing that would kill me) but nonetheless I feel its something to note.</p>

<p>So how hard is engineering? How much time do you need to spend studying/what GPA do you have.</p>

<p>I have been contemplating engineering for quite sometime. I always question my skills though, I always think that I am not good enough to succeed, and that I might not be able to do it.</p>

<p>Also, my only interest in engineering comes from the fact that I want to learn how things work, and how to apply it to use in some other object. I really have no work like metals or woodshop and I am afraid that MechE will destroy me because of it.</p>

<p>Question is too general. A lot depends on the teachers and school you go to. And even more depends how naturally smart you are. If you can pass physics and calculus you can succeed at being an engineer</p>

<p>It may depend on how well you handle the mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluids portions of your freshman and sophomore physics courses.</p>

<p>Don’t defeat yourself before you even try. A lot of people question whether they can do it, I did, and I currently have a 3.8 in a top 10 IE program. </p>

<p>Engineering is hard, it can and sometimes will suck away any social life you might want. BUT, there will also be easy times and it will set you up for a much better life than an easier major ever could. Just make sure you have your priorities straight become disciplined about your study habits, and do your best.</p>

<p>Engineering is not hard per say, it just requires you to spend TIME learning the material. So, if you expect to do well in Engineering you must be able to dedicate an enormous portion of your life to learning the material and regurgitating your knowledge on assessments.</p>
