| Most engineers who switch out due so due to lack of interest, not toughness like at other schools. I think engineering is doable, five courses is possible, but DEFINITELY not every semester-- some semester are going to be too hard. And definitely not as easy with some engineering as other forms of engineering.
The course requirements are largely due to ABET and are actually lower than at most schools.
That's not to say that engineering isn't very time consuming, but I do know some engineers who have taken five. |
