35 Things Every Engineering Major has to Deal with during College

35 Things Every Engineering Major has to Deal with during College

This writer has generally hit the nail on the head. There are some posts I do not quite grasp yet, such as #4 (the project/design not working as it is supposed to) and  #5 (Somebody casually mentioning they really enjoyed a class that single-handedly destroyed your social life, self-esteem, and GPA in one nightmarish swoop). However, I have heard the proof of post #7. This comes from the students of physics lab discussing how the lab is a one credit hour while the lab write ups may take up to 10 hours in one week. This is still quite relevant to the group since the buzzfeed is about what the engineering major will deal with over the course of their college career.


Post #21 is a (possible) misconception that many engineering majors have. Due to the difficulty of the major and the work load that most engineering majors have, we look at our other non-science/engineering majors and it appears they have no homework or responsibilities. There is a common issues among the engineering community- a superiority complex. My music major friend has ample amount of time to sleep, go to every game, and over all do anything she wants while still keeping her GPA up. This leads directly into the truth behind the post #13. The average college student parties weekly, possibly every day Thursday to Saturday, while the engineering students buckle down and do homework on the weekend nights. While my birthday has not passed yet, I have had many engineering friends who spent the birthday night with a textbook. This post would be better if it directly brought up the superiority complex within the engineering college. If it brought it up in a factual matter with the “while I don’t always drink beer…” guy’s picture.
