My roomate and I were debating about what are the 3 hardest majors at UMR. Just wondering what everyone thinks.
My opinion is
hardest - Electrical Engineering
second harest - Chemistry/Chem E
third Aerospace Engineering

I think it honestly depends on who you are, but I have heard bad things about Chem E and I would say Nuke would be up there somewhere if not for the course work, then because all of the faculty (with the exception of Jeff King, I haven't been around him too much and Prof Usman, he is just a piss poor teacher) are total fucking douche bags...

I think Physics shouldn't be discounted.

Technical Communication.

(Hey, there are only about three of us, so you guys wouldn't know the difference if we claimed it to be hard.)

I'd go with:

Nuke--Thinking it's hard makes me feel better about myself.

Electrical--I never understood how some squiggly lines equate to a computer.

Chemical--I'm not sure about this one, but I hate chemistry, so I'm guessing it would be hard to me.

Honorable metions go out to everything else on campus (except Philosophy).

Philosophy is not easy. Memorizing philosophers and what they said was easy, but the abstract thinking is something that most people, especiall engineers are not good at.

one of my friends is a nuke (jr) and he doesnt do jack shit, and is still passing easily (though I'm sure the theoretical stuff is a cast-iron bitch). IMO EE is one of the hardest, and I'm going to have to agree with ChemE being up there too. Doubt I could hack either one, especially with my current apathy towards them.

Comp Sci is obviously the hardest.

I would be suprised if a philsophy degree at UMR was hard.

Is he actually taking any Nuke classes?

Geophysics is exceptionally difficult.

I've taken a bunch of the classes, and all of them have been incredibly easy. Incidently, I find the memorizing to be hard, but the thinking to be easy.

However, I'm sure at other liberal arts colleges, it would be a bitch.

You're probably right, they only offer something like 6 classes in it. I was speaking more generally than just at UMR though, i should have clarified.

I dunno guys, thermo seems like it would be a pain in the ass and MechEs have to take 3 of them. But,

EE - I have resigned to just accepting that nearly all filters are non-causal (things in the future effect the results in the past... yes I said that correctly).
ChemE - Chem is just hard in my opinion.
NukeE - From the nukeEs I know, the professors make it far harder than what it should be. For that reason it gets 3rd place.
