In terms of overall averages, what do you think should be the ranking of the intelligence of engineers?

God tier: EE, computer engineers (some of these people that I've met are on par with physicists, and a few in grads school with mathematicians. most are smart regardless of what kind of school they came from)
High Tier: Chemical, aeronautical
Mid Tier: Industrial, mechanical
Low Tier: Civil

it's not a science major.
nor is it engineering.

comp sci really is its own study. it doesn't have much to do with either science or its application.
It's a wonderful thing yes, but is it really a classification uder sci/eng? i wouldn't say so.

>>2656384

i guess that's true. I feel mechE is more broad, and kind of contains aero. And EE is broad and contains CompSys. Although i see more differences in compsys and EE than differences in meche and aero.

>>2656383

that sounds like compsci to me...

ITT: OP majoring in EE/CE at a shit-tier school, trying to make himself feel better.

Sorry, OP. You're still a fucking idiot who couldn't handle candle to those who are not academic failures like you. Enjoy being at the bottom.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 6 22:44:44 2011 No.2656459 >>2656035 seems like a decently accurate list, but its missing quite a bit. needs to be expanded a bit though with more fields.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 6 22:48:44 2011 No.2656486 >>2656420 nano engineering is mat sci engineering which is chemical engineering. it's just a sub-discipline. Although you can take different paths, that is the most predominant path.

Not op, but have to say this. Realize that some of us (a minority) aren't going to a shit-tier school because we're shit. I got into two T30 schools (Duke, USC), but since I'm a poorfag, had to opt for a shit-tier state school (in-state tuition). Not willing to get out huge loans for a fuckign B.S. I'll save that for grad (or possibly med) school.

bump down EE and up ChemE

EE is broad and only needs depth of knowledge in a section of physics.

ChemEs need to have a depth of knowledge in chemistry, physics, thermo/fluid dynamics, and have to deal with every kind of dynamic balance.
Additionally, the ChemE set can be broken up, because they have the widest range of jobs, from oil industry to toy industry to biopharmaceutical. Thats part of the reason they need such a range of knowledge.

>When was the last time a mechE needed to know fluid dynamics

I dunno, maybe when doing CFD/microfluidics research? Aero really is pretty much a specialized subfield of mechanical engineering. Why everyone seems to think it's awesome and mechanical is lame/easy stuff for auto mechanics and factory workers is beyond me.

as an AE i agree that any job an AE could do an ME could probably do and vice versa.

i still don't think these efforts at ranking is worth two shits but i'd put chem and EE at the top if we're talking about how difficult the concepts are and ME/AE fairly low, maybe mid tier.
