<p>How hard is it to major in chemical/materials science engineering at Princeton? I am very interested in Princeton because it is such a well-rounded school, and I do love engineering (I have done summer programs and such), but does someone in chemical engineering have a lot more work than someone in liberal arts?</p>
<p>Engineering is considered to one of the most labor-intensive majors, so yes, chem engineers generally have more work to do than those in BA programs.</p>
<p>hello may I know how good Princeton’s engineering program ranks with other top institutions like MIT/Caltech?</p>
<p>I am also very interested, but I usually do not see Princeton in the top list of ungrad engineering programs</p>
<p>^ Princeton is well represented in the traditional engineering fields. Below are US News undergrad engineering rankings. </p>
<p>If I was considering a top-flight university offering engineering, Princeton would definitely be on my list.</p>

<p>Because it’s usually just out of the top 10, but to make a distinction between something like 7th and 11th is pretty silly, considering there are hundreds and hundreds of schools for engineering.</p>
