What would be your order ?
- Chemical, industrial, electrical, biological, biomedical, mechanical, metallurgical, financial, nuclear, aerospace, civil, computer software, petroleum, materials science
- Underwater basket weaving
In a shocking result, it’s a fourteen-way tie! This is unprecedented!
Raspberry ice cream is up there at the top, followed by strawberry. Way down the list is coconut.
I can personally attest that Mechanical is the easiest. I distinctly remember looking at the courses for each engineering disciple and saying to myself “Those all look too hard, I’ll go with mechanical”
Chocolate chip cookie dough, no doubt.
İt is said that chemical and electrical are the hardest ones
Mint chocolate chip is easily the best flavor. I’m not really sure if there exists a worst flavor.
Metallurgical has a lot of letters so it might be hardest to sort.
Seriously though, most will have similar amounts of calculus and physics, and most will have some specialty courses that use math, physics, and logic. Is stochastics universally easier than computational fluid dynamics? I dunno. Probably depends more on a given student’s interest and motivation than anything else.
You could always steal a march and major in pure math. In my experience, that can make the EE’s and whatnot cross themselves and back slowly away, muttering something about people being “not right in the head.”
(Edit: de-autocorrect. )
@Noobdotaci, in all seriousness, all engineering is difficult. What you will find more or less challenging is based solely on your interests and personal skills and strengths. This is so variable, that there is no answer other that those you’ll get from people who don’t know any better based simply on what they’ve heard OR those trying to self affirm and defend their own major. Those really in the know will simply tell you they’re all challenging. Good luck.
Lemon custard, heathens.
Yes i agree with you but i want to know about the general opinion.
There is no general opinion in any meaningful sense. Unless your answer is mint chocolate chip with chocolate hard shell. Then it is meaningful.
General opinion: MY major is harder than yours and harder than everyone thinks it is. And it doesn’t matter what my major is!
Frankly, it really doesn’t matter what’s harder and what isn’t. That doesn’t affect job prospects, success in the major itself, or enjoyment of the major as much as you’d think it would. Choosing what’s easy is probably one of the worst ways to choose a major.
Chocolate chip cookie dough. Hands down.
In all seriousness, “harder” depends both on your skills/interests and the school you’re at. Hardest to find a job in depends on your location and the industry’s economics. At my school, I believe we say electrical and chemical are the hardest, aerospace has the hardest administration to work with, and industrial and environmental are the easiest. I’m sure there are people at my school who will disagree with my ranking, though. It would be much easier to determine what is “hardest” if you posted it in a particular school’s forum so people could weigh the pros and cons of each major in a particular setting.
It doesn’t matter which school-specific forum someone visits, the answer is still the same: mint chocolate chip.
Pshaw. Lemon custard. If you had actually MAJORED in that field you would know I am right.
The answer is an interdisciplinary major such as those that used to be offered by Blue Bell ice cream. Birthday cake or banana split were definitely favorites. Unfortunately, Blue Bell seems to be having some, ehem, enrollment problems as of late…
There is no right answer.
I think BioE would be the hardest for me. I majored in ChE in college.
