Which is the most difficult Engineering Degree?

>>8642297
Probably chemical.

t. Nuke eng.

>>8642297
EECS

Chem, biochem, aerospace, nuke

and very niche and specialized branches of traditional degrees, such as a CS eng doing quantum information research.

>>8642358

nah
chemical engineering is just highschool chemistry+building pipes

>>8642600
This, CE is not hard academically

It's still challenging in most programs because they overload you with irrelevant shit

>>8642297
EEE by a country mile

what's the third E?

t. EE

>>8642297
Depends.

The hardest Mechanical/Aerospace degrees are harder than the hardest Electrical degrees, but the average EE degree is harder than the average ME/AE degree.

What's harder, ChemE or PChem?

It's Engeneering Physics

>>8643207
What, BME is one of the hardest since it's usually EE+ bio, and biochem classes.

>>8645189
What makes you say that?

>>8645717
They take less EE courses and add bio courses = easier

Chem E here.

This subject makes no sense and I'm sure 99% of people who practice it just wing it.

At my uni it is electronic and electrical engineering I believe

t. ECE

>>8645718
On average, ME degrees are easier than EE. However, the most advanced problems that ME deals with require more math and physics than any other degree: compressible fluids, turbulence, chaos theory, etc.

Literally the only reason innovation in ME has stagnated over the past few years is that the field has matured so much that pretty much all the problems that could be solved have been solved, and now we're just making everything more efficient while waiting for math and physics to catch up so we can solve the other problems.

The only field that comes close is Nuclear Engineering, but it's been setback mainly by bureaucratic interference and the fact that some of NukeE problems are actually ME and ChemE problems.

>>8643139
I am doing EE and it is pretty fucking easy

Hey guys, idk where else to ask
Should I get EE ( automation) or CS?

>>8642297
Computer Engineering because the state of the art is rapidly changing and high level math.

Physical Engineering have a lot more inertia in concepts that won't change. A specific alloy of steel has fixed properties.

>>8646691
What you mean to say, is that Computer Engineering is not a mature field yet, and that it has no standard set of problems and mechanisms to deal with said problems. ie: it's a meme

>>8643131
CE is civil. ChemE is chemical. CompE is computer. get it right faggot.

Kek

>>8642297
The first two years are the mostly the same for any engineering bachelors. Some people do better at chemistry some are terrible at it. Some people do better at statistics/systems. Some do better at materials/geotechnical. Some do better at statics/structures. Some do better at physics emag. Honestly if you took somebody out of their field and threw them into another they'd be terrible, usually. They are all difficult for their own reasons that another person might succeed in one and be mediocre in another.

>>8645709
I'd say that's actually true. Like the other guy says, nobody knows it exists. Everybody mentions EE or ChemE when that comes up, but that's because nobody knows Engineering Physics.

I don't give a fuck about that. Gonna earn a lot more money than you because I focus on dealing with people and wealth.

Is electromechanich engineering harder than ME and EE? Or is like an easier version of both?

>>8647513
Continuum Mechanics in general is hand wavy as fuck.

Numerical methods was the most anticlimactic math course i ever took. so disillusioned after that.

>>8647544
It's more like specialized, but if you can do proper ME too work then I would say it's good.
Electric machine (motor, transformer, etc.) design is classically EE territory with enough ME stuff so you can calculate basic shit.

I would say it can be good if it's coupled with advanced control stuff, automation, etc.

You should probably look at a good Mechatronics degree and compare with that. It would be good to know what exactly EME means in your case.
Usually hybrid/specialized degrees are either very good or very bad.

>>8647560
It can get quite complicated in the preprocessing stage though, can be quite difficult to create a proper representation of your problem

Once you set your mesh etc up though, I agree, all the optimal algorithms have already been found and you just wait for the computer to calculate

>>8647603
I'll check that out, thanks

Keep in mind that I'm in Central Europe, though.

>Which is the most difficult Engineering Degree?

See, I used to care about this, but now I just want to know what is the most lucrative engineering degree.

EECS and BioChem always seemed pretty tough, but they often get paid shit after graduating.

I have a qualitative metric that you can use to see how hard a degree is:

1. Stare deep into their eyes.
2. Look a little bit below their eyes.
3. The darker the rings are under their eyes, the harder their degree is and the more crappy their life is.

>Enjoy your average salary.
Just because you deal with people it doesn't mean you'll get paid more, you are just as replaceable as anyone. Being 'Chief' something doesnt automatically make you have a higher salary, you are just the link between HR and the eternal abyss of autism of actual engineering.

>I like maths though, it's just the physics part that I don't give a fuck about.
Sounds to me you think you are good at math because you can compute integrals, derivatives and what not (so at best you are just like any computer), but too stupid to actually formulate them to solve something real (the one thing that makes us not get automated).

>Mechanical engineering has stagnated

I disagree. Consider advances in mechatronics, robotics, autonomous vehicles, additive manufacturing, carbon fiber composites, internal combustion efficiency, system dynamics (think SpaceX's self landing Falcon 9 or Boston Dynamics anthropomorphic waking robot), medical devices.... There are and will continue to be a plethora of fields for mech E's to make significant contributions.

T. ME junior.

If you obsess about making a high salary, you don't actually like math. You like talking about calculus you had to do because you think it makes you sound interesting. Your personality is actually quite common, unfortunately.

What?

>>8646628
math has been caught up since ancient times, all pure math is applicable SOMEWHERE to predict SOMETHING

nobody knew f=ma could be used to figure out perihelions of all the planets around ours.

I can only hope in the future somebody will use algebaic topology or some math discovered in 70s for real life use.

>>8642297
This one definitely >>8648310 or Financial Engineering.

Like, god damn son, you gotta be really precise about your calculations and you got stress 24/7 but the pay is kind of good at starting salary (85k+) and mid career is like the average engineer (100k+) for some reason.

But IMO, all engineering majors excepting environmental "hug the tree, kids!" engineering are cool desu, since they're pretty much the artists of reality and the future.
Just my autistic thoughts though.

>>8645709
This.

>>8642297
In my country it's Physical Engineering which is essentially applied maths or less theoretical physics, you study general relativity and all of classical physics including maxwell in the first year and the second you get things like fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, nanomaterials engineering.

It's usually so hard it's actually easy to get in to, people just don't bother applying because they know they won't be able to complete it

>>8648643
Also, I'd like to nominate my master's which is Financial Engineering, the math alone we deal with is far more complex than anything I've seen from my friends who are in top engineering schools

>>8648340
>Just because you deal with people it doesn't mean you'll get paid more, you are just as replaceable as anyone. Being 'Chief' something doesnt automatically make you have a higher salary, you are just the link between HR and the eternal abyss of autism of actual engineering.
Is not an automatic implication, but it helps a lot. Being able to deal with people means being able to not be an autist and do groupwork and get to higher positions easier.
I said I like maths, not that I am good at it.

>Sounds to me you think you are good at math because you can compute integrals, derivatives and what not (so at best you are just like any computer), but too stupid to actually formulate them to solve something real (the one thing that makes us not get automated)
I said I like maths, not that I am good at it. Anyway, I am good enough to pass with good grades and learn whatever I need to work. I would enjoy delving deeper into a lot of mathematical concepts, but that's not really useful outside of academia, so I don't care.

>>8648367
>If you obsess about making a high salary, you don't actually like math.
You know, anon, it's possible to like to make money AND to learn maths at the same time. People aren't unidimensional.

>>8648370
The thing is, I never stated that I know much about those fields, just that I like maths i.e. I like abstracting and concatenating information, especially if it involves quantities.

The reason that fluid mechanics understanding has stagnated is IMO because we need a new mathematical tool other than vector calculus to understand and analyse it. All the big institutions play about with CFD because it writes papers, but it doesn't advance understanding in the slightest bit, it just helps people keep their job.

I've got a degree in aero and currently work as an electronic and control engineer. They're both hard in different ways, solving navier-stokes is a huge pain, but so is trying to hand calculate frequency methods, natural frequencies and fourier. I don't know enough about ChemE to comment. Civil is baby tier, despite what that one guy says.
