<p>I’m not surprised and it’s not incorrect to disagree with the statement. The problem we all have is most of us only attended one undergraduate engineering school and aren’t in a position to tell. Even if we did attend two engineering schools, the second is likely to be easier because we have some experience with engineering and are also more mature.</p>
<p>What I can observe is that the engineering school I graduated from was very difficult. When I talk with engineers that graduated from different schools, they say their school was also very difficult. When I read books authored by engineers, they say that the school they went to was very hard, and in fact, it was the first time he/she had to study. When I look on college confidential, people generally say that engineering school is tough regardless of which school they are attending. There are exceptions - some do find it easy - but I think this is the student rather than the college.</p>
<p>The conclusion that I have come to is that most or all of the ABET accredited colleges have a challenging and difficult engineering program and that generally the programs are all about the same level of difficulty. It’s unscientific and unprovable but I would think if some schools had easy engineering programs, I’d see a lot of students from that school saying it was really easy.</p>
<p>The one exception is community college classes are significantly (in some cases) than four year classes.</p>
<p>(By the way, I have taken classes at a large number of colleges and universities. I have taken individual classes at four community colleges and pursued engineering degrees at one four year insitution and two graduates schools. I think I’m actually pretty well experienced at comparing the colleges.)</p>
