Re: Majoring in Mechanical Engineering
Yeah, ME is hard. But in my opinion, most other engineering curriculum's are harder! This is of course, only based on friends that were in them, or specific classes in ME that were required from other disciplines.
But in general, college itself is hard.
Just remember this - Learn the material now. Because next year, you'll take a class that requires you to recall what you learned the year before, and so on, and it continues to build. When you get into junior and senior year, it's amazing how many things you say "hmm.. I learned something about that before, sure wish I learned it better". All the sudden, all these classes you thought you'd never use again, you find they're all actually related in some way. Maybe you won't use it in the real world, but you'll use it until you graduate college!
And yes. Thermo is liked by very few people.
