<p>I hate to reply to this thread because it’s so old, but I’m going to anyway.</p>
<p>Anyone who says “it depends on what you’re good at and that’s the easiest major for you”, I think that is a load of BS. ANY engineering major can major in a social science because it’s memorization. NOT ANY social science major can major in engineering since engineering requires more mental ability and thinking. Someone can be interested in and good at chemistry, but that still doesn’t mean chemical engineering is easier to major in than say civil engineering - because of the workload and more challenging courses ahead. There are a certain percent of people who have trouble understanding challenging material as well as can’t handle the workload of a certain engineering major. That major, whatever that is, is the hardest engineering major in general. Granted, comparing an engineering major to another engineering major is different from comparing an engineering major to a social science major. Bottom line, engineering is a hard but rewarding field no matter what major you choose, and there exists “the hardest” engineering major around but that is hard to measure.</p>
