<p>How hard is penn engineering? I heard its very hard is that true?</p>
<p>It's a lot of work, but it's rewarding. The nature of the work really depends on the specific type of engineering, though.</p>
<p>it's challenging, but indeed, the challenge depends on the engineering field.</p>
<p>for example i just spent 21 hours over the past 3 days with my group doing a lab report; this is rather common among us sophomore bioengineers.</p>
<p>i am going into system engineering</p>
<p>Oh, systems? Lol, you have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>lol kewl! thats a relief, however i have a question as a Penn Engineering student would u prefer Duke Engineering or Penn? I am trying to decide between the two AND which one is one of the hardest engineering at penn BME?</p>
<p>uh, depends on career goal.</p>
<p>bioengineering is the best engineering department at penn and possibly the hardest - the majority of students in the program, however, are premed, prelaw, or prebusiness, or otherwise research-oriented, meaning, not intending on careers as professional engineers. this is why so many bioengineers are in wharton classes, or premed classes.</p>
<p>at duke the case may be different - not really sure.</p>
<p>yeah actually thats the case in me, i am basically pre-business as well. I want to do systems and enroll in wharton classes as well and maybe even CAS since penn allows that. I am not intendeing a career as a proff engineer.</p>
<p>then i'd say penn is the better choice.</p>
<p>I'd go to Penn.</p>
<p>And the BE's think they're all that but let's see where they all are in 5 years.</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs</p>
<p>and med school!</p>
<p>Basically: anywhere but an actually BE firm, because there are none.</p>
<p>Also, to OP: don't be systems, be EE. Don't cop out, man.</p>
<p>how hard is electrical engineering at Penn?</p>
<p>It's not deathly, but they put you through your paces. My roomie is EE. LEt me put it this way: he is in a class that's required for the systems majors (ESE350). Every group has to have at least one systems major, because otherwise, none of the EE people would want to group with the systems majors, and none of the system's majors would pass. The way my roommate described the, admittedly nice, systems gal in his group (who does nothing) "it's not that she's lazy, she just works at a totally different level."</p>
<p>What about biomedical science? Is it as hard as BE?</p>
<p>basically exactly the same the first two years...</p>
<p>and people doing the biomedical science are usually pre-something so they've got plenty of other work to do...</p>
<p>People often do the BAS curriculum (such as biomedical science) to get out of the time consuming labs.</p>
<p>hmm..is EE better then System engineering? I heard system is one of the emerging engineering majors, and one that is better if you are going into the business sector!</p>
<p>actually, the time consuming labs are required for biomedical science kids sophomore year, they just get to escape the junior year ones...</p>
