<p>Ripemango: You are not expected to know how to solve ChemE or MatSE or whatever engineering problems the second you walk into college. You are supposed to LEARN in college not come in knowing everything. If you have prepared as well as you can in high school then why are you worrying so much about whether you are cut out for it in college? You will not know until you try it out. So what really needs to be governing your decision making process is what do you think that you will really enjoy.</p>
<p>You completely missed Moodoys point. Completely. He is trying to point out to you the difference between high school science, intro college science, and engineering. The problems come at you in a different way requiring a different mindset. This would apply to Materials or any other discipline too. He just happened to use ChemE to explain the differences clearly.</p>
