<p>as a trojan, we EE ppl really think IE is so easy to a point it shouldn't belong in engineering school. Moreover, ppl generally do not have too much respect for IE, the difficulity level of IE is nowhere near traditional engr major and they don't make up for some other way. Also, in USC, IE is the major other than business for engineering students who can't survive or got weed out from other much tougher engr majors.</p>
