>>12259105The courses themselves aren't really that much difficult. The issue with engineering is that engineering programmes typically have heavier workloads than other STEM programmes do. Your typical mathematics or physics student is taking 16 credits in a semester and takes his time to read, do exercises, study and try to understand the material of his courses; your average engineering student, however, has to deal with taking 26 credits and obviously having less time to dedicate to each discipline than math or physics students have. Plus extracurriculars, of course.
And I say it again, the courses themselves aren't hard - many of them, in fact, are courses that your fellow STEMfaggots also take. Linear Algebra, Calculus, Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Chemistry and so on. The real challenge lies in the fact that it always feels like you're running late for everything. You have to deal with deadlines after deadlines, and just when you think it's over after you pulled an herculean effort to finish a class activity, you figure out there is another one from another course due next week, and you didn't even start it. I believe many students crack under this intense workload and mistakenly assume that engineering classes are hard.
>>12259112I never had a professor who didn't specifically state "ASSUME THIS:" in an exam and later whined about students' assumptions. Usually, when you're not given an approximation (like pi=3,14), you're just meant to leave pi there like it is, so I can't see where you're coming from; plus, g=9 is absolutely retarded.
