[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Civil and chemical engineering are relative easier admissions. AE (sub of ME) and BioE are more popular. CompE and EE are the most competitive. All sciences are similar. [/quote]

Please spell out those acronyms.[/quote]
NP but they are not that hard!  CompE - Computer Engineering and EE = Electrical Engineering

I have two kids in Engineering in College - would agree on Chemical being not as competitive.  Tough one right now is biomedical.  The irony is that Chemical Engineering has really changed - it's not just Dupont which is what I thought of.  It focuses on atoms/molecules or the whole "nano" world which is the new buzz word.  My Chemical Engineering kid wants to do something that borders with biomedical focusing medical research - things like tissue regrowth.  There are a lot of similarities between Chemical and Biomedical so if your child can't get into Biomed encourage them to look at Chemical.

Mechanical can be competitive- depends on the school.  [/quote]

ChemEng makes you more employable than BME with just a BS.  But it is a more challenging major overall.  And yes, it's not just a major for "oil"[/quote]
