Lafayette is D1.   My impression is that D1 sports aren't realistic with a challenging major.[/quote]

Out of all of the engineering majors, civil is the least challenging.

The D1 soccer engineers I know were all civil.

What a bizarre statement. The first year of college is also the most challenging and all engineering classes are the same that first year.
Also, I don't think there's any evidence for civil being easier later on; it's just a different major with different classes. It does tend to pay less as a career; part of this is a large majority of civil engineering projects are taxpayer funded.  It also had a higher proportion of women.[/quote]

This is correct, there's no "x engineering is more rigorous than y engineering" for the first year unless the engineering program isn't actually ABET Accredited.   ABET Accreditation dictates most of the core coursework - as do requirements for taking the EIT which is a prerequisite for anyone who wants to get licensed to become a professional engineer in any field.[/quote]
