<p>Alcohol and parties… you think I’m kidding, but as an older student and a graduate student I have seen it time and time again with the undergraduates. Some can do both, but it’s pretty hard to focus on your studies if you are out drunk 3-4 nights a week like many I knew who didn’t survive engineering.</p>
<p>In terms of classes, Math for Engineering is what we call it. Basically a speedrun of Calculus, Diff Eq, and Linear Algebera all shoveled into just 2 math classes. It breaks the best of the students I know, you get off track there, and you are in for either a rough summer, or next time you register your end up with all business classes.</p>
<p>Most engineers who actually try at my program make it through since we have a single small cohort and the professors are great. It’s the math classes that have killed many a soul along the way.</p>
