<p>I bummed around the SEAS website for a while and came across this Engineering Mechanics concentration in the Civil E department. It’s the SEAS major that has interested me most thus far, though I applied IEOR. (I’m also not into all that biotech or nanoscale particle physics type stuff.)</p>
<p>Problem is, I don’t like building stuff with my hands. I prefer to work out the plans and let others build them, lol. Will this be a problem? And are there a lot of these mini-bridge building projects in the classes?</p>
<p>Would appreciate if anyone has more info, thanks.</p>
<p>you dont declare until sophomore year and during freshman year you will
a) take a pre-professional class that talks thru what the major that particular class is on as well as the structure of the education for that major
b) attend plenty of events where you get to talk to professors and upperclassmen about the major</p>
<p>im just posting this because i dont think anyone on this board was an em major</p>
<p>i dont think i even knew anyone who was an engineering mechanics major</p>
<p>but skraylor is right…no reason to worry about this now, you’ll have all the info you need by the time you make a decision…as long as you go out and seek it</p>
