Lastly. I hope engineering programs are rigorous and hard. I feel the same way about pre-med, pre-law...etc...

My calculus teacher was talking to our class about why he does not give out any class participation points.(I am still in high school) He said,"Do you want an engineer to design your car's hydraulics brakes when he only passed the hydraulics course because his notebook was pretty?" Of course I still have no idea which degree I want to get. I will figure that out when I get to college.

It turned out the Physics class was using mathematical techniques we hadn't been taught yet. In fifteen minutes another this resolved a problem I had been struggling with a whole quarter. We can do that here too.

I hate that. My physics teacher had to show us how to fudge certain problems because we had not taken calculus yet. Now that I have taken calculus I realized that all those physics formulas make sense from a mathematical perspective.

Many of the EET's and MET's are actually very prepared right away for application type engineering where as many of my co-workers with straight EE degrees had no/little experience in hands-on building, programming, debugging.

I am still very confused about the differnce between a degree in engineering technology and just plain engineering.
