[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised by all the comments stating that some Engineering programs are not as math intensive. I have ME BS and a CE MS. Both had a lot of math and continued to use differential equations as well as calculus for completing the degrees. A B math student can do very well in engineering, but I found the course work takes dedication. I always did my homework either by myself or with a group of friends in the program. I found going to every class helped because engineering is not an easy self taught program. Textbooks help, but a good prof really makes the information click.[/quote]

Engineering physics major here. Did you do essentially a third year of math in your ME curriculum?  We had that, and a B student in calc would have a hard time hanging with it.
It went well past Fourier transforms.  Integrating in the imaginary plane and such that I can barely remember.[/quote]

I didn't have imaginary planes but definitely had Fourier transforms. There were "B" students in the program that graduated with engineering degrees. Note to OP: I dropped out of my high school calculus class. Just wasn't getting it. Took calculus 1-4 in college and aced it. The professors who taught it in college were great. Also, I put in a lot of work into all my courses. I was a scholarship kid and if my GPA dropped below either 3.0 or 3.5 (can't remember) I lost most of my scholarship.[/quote]
