most dropped out of major?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>What seems to be the engineering major that has the highest drop out rate? Just curious, hopefully not the one that I am looking at going into.</p>

2

<p>Seriously. Pre-engineering.</p>

3

<p>yea, Pre-engineering.
atleast in my school.</p>

4

<p>are you talking about 3-2 programs?</p>

5

<p>No. In many school/college of engineering, a significant percentage of freshmen just drop out after first year. Ater that, almost all of the students stick around and ocassionally between engineering majors. I read about this from a study done by NAE (National Academy of Engineering).</p>

6

<p>Sounds about right. That's when most of the "weed-out" courses are.</p>

7

<p>ok, because some schools have pre-engineering programs so I wasn't sure what you meant.</p>

8

<p>what about among actual engineering programs?</p>

9

<p>^ yeah that's what I had in mind.</p>

10

<p>I would imagine AE, since the switch to ME is relatively straightforward.</p>

11

<p>Once you get past the first two years - which are mainly intro classes and support courses - I think the vast majority complete their degree.</p>

12

<p>My impression is ECE.</p>

<p>The contents didn't seem to meet a lot of students' expectations. With Aero, Civil, Mech, ChemE, it's more clear as to what types of jobs you'll have and what the coursework would be like.</p>

13

<p>I agree with ECE. It's pretty much circuits, circuits, and more circuits, which a lot of people don't seem to enjoy for some reason.</p>

14

<p>EE....Circuits</p>

15

<p>EE and CSE in my school have around a 80% drop out rate, we start off with 800 students in the CS 1 course and in CS 2 we are down to 60. the entire cse department only had 109 students.</p>

16

<p>I think its NE... normally NE to ME.</p>

<p>I think I saw somewhere that about 50% dropped out after enrolling for NE..</p>

17

<p>At my school, it seems as though the number of BME freshmen was cut in half after the first semester</p>

18

<p>Whoa what school is that Zorz?</p>
