[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DDs experience as a ME major was [b]that different people struggled in different classes but that almost everyone has one class that is a struggle.[/b]  For some it is Diff EQ for some physics and for some dynamics.  The other wake up call is that the grading is very harsh and kids who have spent almost their whole lives being the "A" math and science kid, that will come to a screeching halt for the vast majority.  Very strong students will be A/B students and many, many will be B/C at the beginning.  The good news is that employers recognize this about the hard core engineering degrees and do not blanch at a C or two on a transcript as long as the overall work is good.  [/quote]

This is true. Engineering is difficult but not impossible. Just tell your kids not fall behind, don't miss classes, always do your homework, use office hours (get to know the professor) and study (and study some more). Even at a large state Unis, it's not difficult to get to know the professors. [/quote]
