rank the engineering disciplines from hardest to easiest

all i know is that engineering majors are some of the most insecure people around.

The one I'm in is the hardest, the rest are full of idiots.

Metallurgy 1. Civil last.

Aero, Electrical and Chemical are all probably the hardest.

Industrial is probably the easiest.

electrical - hardest
civil - easiest

Chemical
Mechanical
Electrical/Biological
Civil/Petroleum
Industrial

I never even heard of biological engineering. I'm old.

Industrial is the easiest. Civil is probably the second easiest. The rest are debateable, but ChE and EE have to be up there.

You left out Computer and Nuclear. But that aside, anyone who successfully graduated from an accredited university with an engineering degree could have majored in any of the disciplines. It's really just a matter of personal choice/interest.

The basic math/engineering courses were the 'weeding out' classes. Once you made it past those, you were prepared for the specialized engineering courses, regardless of your major.
