Some classmates in college switched from chemical to EE.

So I will say chemical


Yeah, I'm pretty sure that you have to take both Organic I and II as a CE major. That in addition to the rest of the curriculum has to be grueling.

Civil was pretty easy for me

I hear chem and bio are tough

Chemical IMO, or biological if they have to take organic.

Yep. It's a grueling curriculum. They only recently lowered the total credits (132, as opposed to the usual 120), and the majority of professors are assholes who actively try to fail you.

ETA: If you're talking about chem (ChE), not civil (CE).

Unless you are talking about Computer Engineering, I feel confident in that statement. There are very few (to my knowledge) universities who place CS under their engineering college.



I believe the Computer and Electrical engineering majors are one and the same at LSU, and they have a "School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science." I haven't been part of that school since about 10 years ago though, right before I switched majors (honestly, just couldn't hack it with a full-time job).

I agree that the mathematics classes overlap but I feel that is disingenuous to label CompSci as an engineering field.

Most places have CompE as a subset of EE if they do not have an esablished seperate curriculum. If you say they have CompSci as a part of that department, I believe you as I have no way to know otherwise.

Outergalactic Electric Civil Petro-mechanical computer medical engineering is by far the hardest one.

Mechanical by a long ways.

Go to graduation. Mechanical usually has zero or one 4.0 grads. The rest have severa every year.

ChE only has had 1 that I know of in my time here. We had nearly 100 people in my Unit Ops class and only 1 person made an A. I'm in the top 10 of my class with a 3.72

Hate to bust your bubble but after PETE and Civil MECH is the easiest. Chem and Elec blow the rest out of the water imo. The reason why there is few 4.0s in Mech in my experience is bc the smartest go to Chem, ELEC are smart as shite but usually weird as hell.

It really is a stupid question that comes up several times a semester.

It's either by some freshmen just getting to thermo or a mega troll.

Has anybody here gotten a batchelors from LSU in more than one engineering major???

You had to take Organic 1, Quantitative analysis and Pchem when I was in. They have since dropped Pchem and made quant an elective, along with Organic 2, that you can take. If you get past your chemistrys and your first 2 process classes, your home free. Since my degree says biomolecular and chemical engineering, you also had to have bio 1 and 2 and Bioinorganic to satisfy that. It was hard but all engineering programs are.
