<p>Which engineering major you think is the hardest/easiest? I need some idea, you can do this by ranking. thanks</p>
<p>aerospace engr
architectural engr
bio engr
computer engr
mechanical engr
agricultural/bio engr
bio engr
chemical engr
civil engr
electrical engr
industrial engr
nuclear engr</p>
<p>Computer Engineer would have to be the easiest. The rest I am not sure about how they would go. You also forgot Optical Engineer.</p>
<p>Of the four most common engineering majors I would rate their respective difficulty thusly:</p>
<p>1.Chemical
2.Electrical
3.Mechanical
4.Civil</p>
<p>With the caveat that they are ALL hard!</p>
<p>I always though civil was considered the easiest, they usually have the highest gpa, but obviously the 4 listed above are the most common, and many/most schools don't have a large number of those in first list</p>
<p>You will find a usual consensus among engineers and engineering students that industrial engineering is somewhat easier than others (all are difficult). Electrical and computer engineering are among the most difficult as is chemical . Hardest programs are very often two that are not much discussed but are accredited programs at many top engineering schools: Engineering Physics and Engineering Mechanics (which is not the same as mechanical engineering) both of which lean more towards theory and reserach than others and require far more upper level math courses.</p>
<p>im in electrical engineering and on average, the class average score for exams are around 30%.</p>
<p>I want to do chemical engineering; why is it considered hard? what are the job opportunties in this field? I want to work in biotech field after graduation.</p>
<p>From above: "I want to do chemical engineering; why is it considered hard? what are the job opportunties in this field?" </p>
<p>If you asked many in college why it is hard, a common answer would be: wait to take the college's organic chemistry course and you will learn the answer to your question. There are many who find chemistry to be easy and, ultimately, it may be easy for you, but the first real organic chemistry course (not chemistry in the freshman college year where you may get a smattering of organic chemistry) is the place you will find a lot of students who thought they were going to be chemistry (or chem eng) majors change their minds.</p>
<p>Job opportunities are many. Chemical (e.g., Dow) and drug (e.g., Pfizer) companies are big employers, as are any companies that produced consumable products. Government agencies hire them (e.g., EPA); many consulting firms. There are a huge number of options.</p>
<p>Here's another question. Do you know any engineering major that seem to have lots of people switching out of major after they're in it for a while?</p>
<p>I agree with message above. I am currently student at penn state and I heard from my roommate who is chem e that first organic chem class, the exam average is around 50%</p>
<p>There are no easy engineering majors. If you want easy then study something else.</p>
<p>$0.02</p>
<p>Hey</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me which field has more prospect these days: Electrical Engineeringor computer systems engineering?</p>
<p>Thx</p>
<p>never heard of 'computer systems engineering'... but i've heard of computer engineering</p>
<p>I have heared of Systems Engineering, and Computer Engineering, but never computer systems engineering.</p>
<p>Hardest: electrical, computer, chemical, bio
Medium: mechanical, aerospace
Easiest: industrial, civil, environmental</p>
<p>I read an article that said that only 1/3 of all EE freshmen eventually graduate in that major, i.e. 2/3 of them will switch out.</p>
<p>Hey, there's also materials science engineering. That's probably what I'll do in conjunction with premed. this part deals with making materials for cutting-edge techno. From what my dad says, it's supposed to be pretty easy.</p>
<p>Computer Engineering is medium in my opinion. HOWEVER computer science is one of the EASIEST. There is a big difference in the difficulty of both.</p>
<p>what do you do in material science engineering?</p>
<p>For my school it would go: EE and Material Engineering(A Combined Major of both EE and Materials Engineering), Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Optical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Civil, and Computer Science and Engineering would be last would be last. But this is for my school others may be different.</p>
<p>Note my school has 3 different computer majors. CE, CSE, and CS.</p>
<p>how hard is organic chemistry? what is it about?</p>
<p>well i took some organic chem in high school and one chem class in college (which only introduce organic chem). I don't have to take real ochem class cause i'm not goin into chem/bio field so i can't really tell how hard ochem class is</p>
<p>Simple definition of ochem is the branch of chemistry dealing with carbon-based molecules. "Organic" means chemical compounds that contain carbons. It does sound easy but according to many people and me, it's complex.</p>
<p>One example of organic compounds is alcohol which has functional group of -OH</p>
<p>One of ochem topics is polymers</p>
