<p>How do you know a ChE major is hard?</p>
<p>When you walk into a ChE class for the midterm exam and half the class looks at each other wondering whether they are sitting in the correct class since no one recognizes any of the topics used in the questions in the exam and when getting 8/40 in the exam is a “B” grade.</p>
<p>Or when you, as a ChE major, are sitting in the required Organic Chemistry class, and you find out that it is the toughest course taken by pre-med majors in their 4 years of college, yet it is barely the 3rd toughest course thaken by you in that Semester alone.</p>
<p>dear God. Now I have 2nd thoughts about doing chem E and I havent even entered the major. Is it really that bad?</p>
<p>Magneto, if you are talking to me, when I took that ChE class many years ago the department was ranked #1 in the country. I don’t know how the ChE classes at your school would compare to mine.</p>
<p>From what I understand chemical engineering is one of the toughest engineering disciplines. Precalc, English, and chemistry are the least of your worries. You will need to almost completely devote yourself to college. Have a strong mind. You will need to have a very strong willpower and have passion to become a chemE. But you can do anything you put your heart and mind to.</p>
<p>I would really like to know the names of the classes that caused so much of this distress. I have a hard time believing the material is so difficult. I would think the difficulty arises due to the relentlessly fast pace of the class, rather than the actual material.</p>
<p>I would have to disagree with enginox about engineering being easy… But GShine needs to back off the community college students. Most of the people I met at community college were there to save money, not because they were at the “bottom of the totem pole”. I was very pleased with the education I got at my CC and have a feeling I learned more than if I went straight to a university out of HS.</p>
