EE - What I did, in my Opinion the hardest college major CS - Worked on masters, not as hard IMO. Math - took some upper level math classes. Kind of of impossible classes, but had pretty big curves Physics - Supposedly hard, but from helping friends with HW it didn't seem as hard as EE. Medicine - Never done this ChE - Aero E Mech E - Statics, fluids etc can be hard Law Other - ??
Related/agreed: Nursing. I had no idea and thought it might kill me a few times. Non-nursing people have no freakin' CLUE.
We did all that and then some...Where's the CE (Civil engineering) love?! (Partially) Just kidding, because IMO, talking with my friends who are doing/have done it, I think mechanical is the hardest engineering major
Yet, mechanical is the branch of engineering with the most students in it. I think it's something like 20% of all engineers are mechanical engineers.
Should it be? My ex was a bio major and although her last few classes were pretty difficult, i think there's gotta be others that are harder from start to finish. I majored in Kinesiology and took some of the same classes as she did and saw some of the work for other classes. I'm probably too dumb for this thread, but it seems to me like it would have to be a major that involves engineering, since that involves a lot more critical thinking. The others seem to have more memorization, which can be difficult because of the quantity, but instead of analyzing the info you're just recalling it.
hard as in a lot of work, or hard as in difficult to understand? if it's a lot of work you want, pre-med or biochem is an intense amount of work. probably EE or math otherwise.
yeah if you understand physics and math CHEE and EE degrees are not difficult. Biochem or other memorization course will always be a ton of work.
Biochem isn't that much memorization if its taught right. The memorization is akin to remembering formulas in engineering or something.
Um what? Biochem is 100% memorization - you must be confusing it with Ochem. Half of the course is memorizing metabolic pathways.
Architecture. I remember all my architecture friends who had to live at the architecture building to get their work done.
At Ut, I hear how biochem, biomed, and chemical engineering are some of the harder majors. I think at UT, biomed is the hardest just because you need to take all of the upper level science courses like biochem, organic II, microbiology, vert phys while also taking calculus based physics and engineering classes.
What is the hardest major is subjective. It all depends on what you yourself are good at. I would find a major like Math-Physics much easier, than a major in a foreign language. But that is because I'm good at logical thinking and physics and Math and terrible at foreign Languages.
I agree with this, in terms of increasing difficulty combined with semester after semester of difficult, simultaneous lab courses. I did physics, and took some engineering classes for fun. I think the OP might be right for the first couple of years, but then I think upper-div physics was harder than upper-div EE. Meh, who knows. My final vote is biochem though. (And none of it is that hard if you're in the right major for you. It's pretty fun, I thought.)
