Abu Al Rub was there 2004ish to 2007ish. Although he may have left in 2006. He was obviously much younger then and didn’t have the gray hair

Feel like we were all in the same class with him. Dude was a nightmare!

Dr. Abu Al Rub
I had him for statics then Katrina happened and we had the opportunity to go into the UNO professors class that came over to LSU.
Then I took Dr. Abu Al Rub for dynamics and materials the next semester and wished I wouldn’t have transferred out of his statics class. He was my favorite professor at LSU.

What do you consider the easiest? Hardest?

That's like saying the only thing Southern has going for it is its law school. It might be the only thing it has going for it, but it doesn't mean its good. It just means everything else sucks.
With that said, I know Southern's law school sucks and I think the only thing they have going for them is maybe civil engineering and nursing and I don't know much at all about UNO.. So really, I am just talking out of my arse.

Get it into his mind that he wants to make an A in every class he takes…he won’t, but don’t get a C in a 2000 English just because he wants to be an engineer. All classes are important.
Exactly. English 101 can tank your GPA as easily as an engineering class.

Southern?
No, they had two guys come to take Geotech over the summer when I took it many years ago. Both were going to graduate after they completed the class and lab, and they couldn't even use the right units (metric vs standard) when doing calculations. They were nice guys, but I know one of them never even got a job in the field and ended up working security.

Easiest- Industrial engineering or biological engineering. I’m a biological engineer by degree.
Hardest- Mechanical or electrical. Electrical is just so different it almost not like engineering. Everything is so abstract

i was one of the guys that got weeded out. didnt help that i was smoking a lot of weed too. had to take one of the calculus classes twice. Meanwhile, track 1 Jesuit guys were cruising thru.
i will never forget Professor Alawady telling me maybe this was not the major for me....and thats ok.

In Civil we got to physically see what makes a beam bend, or a bridge collapse. We got to see concrete being crushed at a certain psi.
I never got to see a mole or molecule or electron. That stuff just never clicked with me.

Do y’all discuss acoustic emission testing as a measure of concrete health…or is the material too amorphous?

I don't remember that, but it's been 7 years. The concrete crushing was part of a Mechanics of Materials lab.
The two "concrete" lectures I had were Priniciples of Reinforced concrete (rebar spacing, depth placement, etc.), and Pavement Design (service life, layering, thickness selection, etc.)

I would think that Environmental Engineering is the easiest because you get to skip some of the hardest classes like Mechanics, Dynamics, Thermo, etc.
Mechanical and Electrical are probably the hardest.
For me the hardest would be Computer Science because coding is my enemy.

Not a ton of NDT in school from what I remember. Did get to play with them in NBI bridge inspector course once I got my job.

FWIW, structural engineers build bridges and structural engineering is a discipline of civil engineering. Not saying mechanical can't and don't do structural work it's just that civil/structural typically do bridge work.

This. And there is a firm in NOLA specializing in bridge design. Has been for years.
Mojesky & Masters
ETA: THey hire Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Traffic...... many different types.
