[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of why engineering rank does not matter so much is that most test questions have known mathematical answers (not usually subjective questions such as essays), part is ABET outlining what topics various courses should cover and outlining what courses to include in degree requirements, part is that roughly the same questions get asked.

Mechanics 101 is the same basically everywhere.  The correct answer is one answer (maybe a few paths to get to it).  But it's not subjective.  You either understand the material or you don't.

And for many engineering students, the programs are not difficult.  My Chem Eng kid thinks Thermo and Heat and mass transfer are fun courses and easily had a 95%+ in both.  That is why they are a Chem eng major and not a history major---it's what they love and enjoy and are naturally good at.

My other kid---no way in hell would they survive a strong STEM program (did finance instead and did well but more math focused than math and science)
