<p>My sin is doing engineering at Lafayette. I don’t think the intro class was a hard weed out class as I defined weed out classes in college. Lots of people drip engineering after the class not because it is hard, but because they realize they don’t really want to be an engineer. The class is two modules designed around a project to introduce the fields. There is an evening presentation for each discipline that is mandatory attendance. You have to also attend at least two lunchtime talks from former students/companies recruiting on campus. If you attend class I think most people got good grades, but it is designed to get you to think about whether this is what you want for your major.</p>
