<p>The engineering classes are taken very seriously by the students and professors. When I say the classes are assigned, there are so many important classes needed to get the degree, that it doesn’t really allow for many choices. You can only fit so many classes into 4 years. Engineering is a bit more stressful than some other subjects for the students, and there does tend to be some competition. A few students actually participate in the class, many just sit and watch. The into. physics and math classes are not all that exciting, it’s just the nature of the material that needs to be covered before the classes get more interesting.</p>
<p>And I wouldn’t consider many 17 and 18 year olds to be mature.</p>
