[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think mechanical engineering is kind of a grind everywhere, isn't it?  [b]Pretty much the hardest undergraduate major. [/b] But see if you can find out more about the Mines culture.  I gut the sense it is a serious drinking place.[/quote]

Harder than electrical engineering? Biomedical engineering?

(I was an English major at a college without an engineering department, so I genuinely don't know, but I hear of kids who start in EE and have to drop down to ME)[/quote]

I just know that the ABET-accredited ME degree has significantly more requirements than any other engineering degree - like   25 to 28ish beyond prerequisites out of typical 34-ish undergrad credits?  Others, including EE and Biomedical and chemical, have fewer requirements for an accredited BSE degree.  There's no room to slow it down for any ABET-accredited engineering degree, if you want to cram it all in 4 years, but this is especially true for MEs, who are the generalists in the engineering world and expected to have mastered the broadest range of engineering subjects.

But I guess depending on one's personal interests/stengths a student could find the bio-aspects, or electrical or chemical and physical aspects of the engineering core more or less difficult.[/quote]
