I'm curious, what is your perception of what engineering involves?

Not flying.


I don't know about Jack's opinion, but at my father's urging I looked hard
and long at the engineering curriculum in college -- and ran screaming in
terror back to the college of liberal arts.

I don't know how anyone could survive in that school -- but my hat's off
to those who could.



Think that was bad, give any of the Physics (real science) schools a try.


Actually, physics classes were some of my most enjoyable and least
difficult classes, including Atomic and Nuclear Physics. I didn't take
any graduate level physics, so maybe that is harder. My EE classes were
much more difficult that physics. Chemistry was the worst as it was
just so boring. :-) Although, my work-study job was in the chemistry
lab and that was a hoot. I learned more chemisry working in the lab
than I ever did in class and it was much more fun. The professor who
supervised the lab was great and taught me a lot while I was working.
