Kid doing CS is required to also take linear/matrix algebra


Does he/she have to take Introduction to Quantum Mechanics? Linear algebra is a requirement for QM.

Also, mining engineering? Who offers that degree?


probably the various schools of the mines.

I’m sure things have changed, but I switched from biomedical to mechanical and it was much easier for me. Possibly just suited me better

DH started in Electrical Engineering and found it really, really hard. He switched to Computer Engineering and thought that was much easier. T10 engineering school, if that matters.

Harder than Chemical?

I believe so.

As a software engineer, I'd like to note that we're usually not real engineers. A computer science degree is far easier than an actual engineering degree which requires notably more math and physics. A computer engineer is a real engineer but they are more likely to have specialized in hardware and firmware, rather than software development.

Based on credit hours, math requirements and degree time completion. Very interesting!
