Most difficult branch of engineering?

EE (which, IMO, includes NukeE)

Just looking at this for a moment, I’ve never seen anyone put nuclear engineering under an EE hat. Sometimes ChemE, sometimes MechE, sometimes on its own. But never as a part of EE.

My experiences seem to differ a fair bit from yours then. I’ve seen a general consensus in most places I’ve looked that EE and ChE are the two hardest (with the most rationale to support this conjecture), and looking at these majors side-by-side, that opinion seems to be valid enough.

I don’t even know what it means to have a “hard” major. Are we talking about the total amount of study time required, the level of concentration needed during that time period, the average grades awarded, or something else?

I tend to enjoy vanilla with grilled peaches and butter rum sauce. That is easily the best ice cream flavor (for now, anyway). That is clearly the only correct answer.

You’re wrong, mint chocolate is much better.
