How do you know?

>> No.6164967

well OP since you posted it, I'm curious to those in computer engineering just how difficult it actually is? I've heard horror stories about engineering but I want to know how it really is; a friend of mine is trying to figure out what he wants to do and computer engineering strikes his fancy. Does anyone know anything about the actual graduation rate, things you wish you knew before you got started in engineering, miscellaneous advice, etc?

>> No.6165008

>>6164967

Depends on the type of engineering to be honest and how far you want to go. Forget about the drop out rate, those people probably had no talent and would've dropped out of other STEM fields and ended up in CS anyways. Engineering just gets most of them.

If you can do applied math (mostly following steps) competently, then you can do undergrad engineering. The other part of is the tedium of large projects, lab reports, etc. Even if you're extremely bright, you still need to manage your time very well.

My ranking of the big 4:

EE
chem E
mech E
Civil E

Civil E is considerably easier than mech E though, the other 3 are pretty close.

Why dont you fucknuggets understand that embedded systems are the fucking future!!!!!????

wEE will have control. wEE will prevail. wEE will have no mercy for civil engineers and liberal arts students.

Any other field that has to do with electrons and voltages/current/fields is good too.

I'm a CompE grad.

In a department of 400 people I had 20 fellow undergrads graduate with me.

When I got started I read on a graph that engineers make a lot of money, so I wen't into it knowing I would have student loans I would have pay off and I needed a definite way to pay them.

It would have been nice if I had been better at math. I had a girlfriend that did most of my work for my in CS classes, but getting through autism central is tough, especially when very few math instructors had english as their first language.

I wish I had done something like philosophy or business, granted I wouldn't have had as many tangible skills, but I would have been more well rounded, had the opportunity to study abroad and would have had more connections and people skills to give my self better employment opportunities.

None really. EE's 1st 3 years overlaps a lot with CompE but other fields are mostly disjoint outside of the math and science foundation.

Oh whoa this thread hasn't died yet, I even tried deleting it since it was an accident.

I do think it's pretty demanding, but I was a lousy student all my life, but through hard work I'm getting there and I'm actually doing great. It's all about how interested you are in the subjects. Math and physics is a huge part of our beginning curriculum, but it's kind of fun and not super hard although some of it seems to be at first. Horrible sleep deprivation and little free time, but it feels so rewarding to do problems on the whiteboard and explain them to the class with confidence.

I've learned more about math, physics and computers during this year in CEng than all of my previous studies combined.

It's a metaphor. Fact of the matter is you're less likely to encounter a qt3.14 if you go into engineering. Not like it should matter, though, if your primary goal is actually to learn something, besides how a gril or several prefer to be screwed.

Computer > Electrical > Aerospace > Mechanical > Bio > Chemical >>> Civil > Environmental

Chemical engineering looks cool on the surface, but most likely you'd end up synthesizing paint thinner with as few impurities as possible. Chemists are the ones who come up with new substances; chemical engineers just deal with the synthesis.

Civil and environmental are jokes, and anyone who chooses them has low self-worth.
