re: Which Engineering degree do you feel is the hardest at LSU?

ChemE is the hardest four year degree.
We had a large number of ChemE students that dropped the major and went into the other engineering fields. I never saw a single instance of a Civil or ME changing majors because ChemE was easier.

I don't like when people think this is the main reasoning for being hard. Maybe the students didn't like what Chem Eng had to offer.

Four engineering degrees here. My Ranking:
ME/ChemE, EE, Eveg/Civil, PetE, IE
ME/ChemE, EE, Eveg/Civil, PetE, IE

Why would you do that to yourself?

I agree with this list. Might put PETE even with or above civil/eveg right now. Since they're oversaturated the professors are intentionally ramping up the difficulty

Pretty spot on in my experience.
And two post in three years?

This is probably not the case concerning engineering, though.
I think you're correct, which is the reason going into engineering is a waste.
Just be a teacher, you make 140k vs 90k as an engineer. In retirement, you get 70% of your max salary every year for the rest of your life + 36,000/year social security. Engineers get nothing but a 30,000/year social security check.
Plus, teachers get guaranteed pay raises due to Union bullying. By next 20 years, teachers will make $270,000/year while engineers will be either outsourced or have lower wages due to supply glut.

I can agree with this and I'm in IE. I don't care if I have the easiest curriculum. Why would I want to make close to the same amount and it be harder on me?
I'm in it for the money not the "hardest" if y'all wanted hard, there are much harder degrees out there.

Yeah I'm in civil and I have no problem admitting I'm near the bottom

As a licensed professional engineer. No one is making $66k with the government straight out of school as an EI.

There's almost too much stupid here to even begin to breakdown. Someone else do it.

You don't get a pension AND social security. Government Pension Offset.
Also, becoming a "teacher" Professor is not easy. A lot don't get tenure. And you have to change universities if you fail and try again at another university.

EI at DOTD is around 40k. Eng 3(PE) is around 52k

Why would a licensed engineer take $52k a year?
