Is Engineering Really That Difficult?
Engineering is one of the hardest undergraduate majors available. However, there will be plenty of people who say that they want to become engineers but the sad reality is that over 60% of freshmen drop out or switch majors. Why is this? It's simple, a lot of people are not ready for vigorous work and difficult concepts. The level of commitment needed for this major is almost unparalleled. Students will have to put in hours of extra work to fully grasp difficult topics. Math and physics are the fundamentals of engineering. Students who are not strong in math and physics will not make it far in this major and will struggle to cope with the work. Those who are interested in engineering must be ready to put in a lot of effort and make sacrifices to graduate. Engineering is difficult because of the advanced nature of the courses required as well as the effort required to make it through. So, anyone thinking about becoming an engineer must contemplate whether they are cut out for this level of stress and work
Basic math classes for Engineering: Calculus II
Calculus III
Linear Algebra
Differential Equations (Engineering Math)
These are just basic math courses most engineers take but there are a lot more math courses depending on which specific engineering is selected.
The info and these statistics were a realistic approach to the college lifestyle especially in this field which I would like to pursue.
ReplyDeleteStudying this major requires students who are dedicated and able to take rigorous math and physical science classes. This requires a higher studious mind than one that we have right now in high school. I'm sure you'll be able to accomplish this major if you do anything possible to understand the concept to these classes, from tutoring to study groups.
