i pretty much skip all my classes and pass with no effort except for a couple days of studying during exam period Sorry for the bump... Is waterloo an easy school? What specific engineering major are you in? Can you give us an example of one of your easy exams? And if you are real, how the f*** do you study for your exams (and don't tell me it's with a magic guitar).
lol... waterloo is the hardest engineering school in canada... and one of the hardest in north america i'd say. anyone who disagrees needs to come here for a few months

bullshit
if you don't do homework you aren't passing classes

Engineering is easy if you are smart. Most aren't smart and therefore think that it is hard. The smarter you are the easier the courses gets relative the soft sciences, it is even easier than those if you are high enough. Like, it is easier to double major in physics/maths than taking a lot of social science in between and just take one of those.
I think the main problem with engineering degrees is that a lot of non mathematical persons enter those degrees since they adore the work engineers do instead of entering because they have particular talent in with the mediums engineers work in. Maths and physics degrees do not have the same kind of drop-out problem. Disagree on the whole being physically smart enough. Engineering is easy if you are a patient listener with an open mind to question what you are hearing and receive criticism yourself (and if you have good work ethic, although I think that that's just a plus). A lot of people would do well in engineering if they just open their ears and minds to the material a bit. Also, a very realistic reason why you are in engineering is because it's easier to find engineering jobs and because your median starting B.S. degree salary is like at least 10k higher than other majors. Never say anything is "easy" until you pass with zero effort, I read that and don;t listen to a word you say man. I know you have valid points though just don;t say such blatantly ignorant shit like "this major is easy". No major is easy ok? Easy is a very relative term. No point in getting offended about it. He probably just means easy as in the average human being could do it. Lots of people only think of something as hard when they have doubt in their success (I'm one of those people). Whether or not it takes a lot of time doesn't factor into their interpretation of difficulty, unless it takes so much time that they don't think they'll have enough. I consider my major easy because I have zero doubt that if I show up to class and do my work I'll do okay.
Very eloquent Cheffy ^_^

"Biomedical engineer
This field's expected growth through '18 -- a whopping 72 percent -- far outstrips any other occupation. As health-care technology becomes ever more complex, demand will explode for more engineers who can combine medical knowledge with engineering principles to develop needed new medical devices and equipment. The BLS reports most have a background in another engineering specialty and additional medical training."
biomed eng is probably the 2nd smallest group at my school next to engineering physics

These past 3 days I've been sitting at the computer 12hours+ a day trying to finish up a software engineering project with my team members
engineering is hard man

E-Peen contest going on around here! No no, my major is harder! Economics and Philosophy dual major! Beat that.
:p
I'd like to see you Engineering guys get through Human Action or Man, Economy, State, without gouging your eyes out at some points. That shit can be sooo dry at times lol.

a single major in engineering (any type) loool

Us engineers/engineering students took the major so we could interact with physics, chemistry, and the forces of nature, not because we wanted to interact with people

Never too late to go into Business/Finance ;-)

Undergrad Engineering was TOO EASY.
Graduate Engineering is :'(. FML. OMG WTF.

And that's why I rage-quit engineering, precisely for that reason you just said. Glad I'm a broadcast journalism now! Social over anti-social!

Yeah, I kinda just wanted to learn better study habits. I guess the first thing would be to browse less >.<
I go to UofT and I'm guessing Waterloo's computer eng is just as hard as here. But I just wanted to call out the guy who said it was easy.

I found out that in order to do that you just do a regular engineering degree then focus on biomedical with your electives, you dont have to be in a specific program unless there is one at your school.
I was worried I had to do pre-med + mechanical o0

Copy paste of what?
Seriously, I thought this was dead quite a while ago.....

The problem with Engineering I feel so far (I'm in my 2nd semester freshman year.) Is that it's hard but I don't feel like I'm learning anything too useful yet, though I guess that will come later hopefully. The work load was downright easy first semester. I expect to see a decent amount of my class drop after this one though.
Kinda wish I was doing premed. Chemistry/Biology is way more fun than physics which is a bit dry. But 8+ years of school sounds like ughhh.
I'm using stuff I learned in first and second year (material science, semiconductor physics, etc.) in my job (coop) right now! I was actually surprised at how useful it was in my field because while I was in school I thought I would never apply the information I learned. Although it's very basic knowledge, it's a very useful foundation for what you may encounter in later years.

science electives (spend them on kin classes), technical electives (use them on biomedical instrumentation or something similar)
and spend your arts electives on w/e

Wtf? I'm doing Software Engineering at the University of Victoria and it's not nearly as hard as it's described in this topic. Maybe Software Engineering is way way easier than the other kinds or maybe my university isn't as intense as Waterloo for example...
