ENGINEERING TYPES

Hey, I was just wondering what types of engineering are generally hard, which one do people think is the hardest and easiest type of engineering. Which ones have the highest maths and english levels recquired.

E.g, i heard aeronautical engineering is one of the hardest and software is pretty easy.

Please rank  from lowest to highest in difficulty for engineering types

Thanks

Welcome to the forums! ;D

I doubt anyone could do a definitive ranking for you - It very much depends on the person, and you can only really judge the degrees you've done in any proper way! This said, I do Electrical, and it involves a lot of maths, I'm told it is the most mathematical of the engineering disciplines. Note that no Engineering degree is going to be very English focused - It is all maths! :)

Hopefully some people can chime in with their experiences of their degrees :) you shouldn't pick based on difficulty by the way, pick based on interest!! All Engineering degrees are tough, but if you are passionate about it, it won't feel like work so much :)

Thanks. I am currently tossing in between civil engineering and biomedical so i'm trying to compare the skills and requirements for the two. Do you have any thoughts for each type? Maybe which one you would do yourself, or recommend.

Personally, I'd prefer Biomed purely out of the subject matter being more interesting to me - I wanted to be a Civil Engineer before I wanted to be an Electrical Engineer, but then I delved into civil a bit more and it just didn't suit my interests. Biomedical is sort of electrical (lots of crossover), so that would be my choice personally :)

Hi, I really want to do a double degree in electrical engineering and computer science at UNSW. Although, I'm not the best at maths  :-[ . I did accelerated advanced maths last year but only got a high band 5, I'm near the bottom of my cohort for ext 1 maths and I don't do 4 unit. I have no idea if I'll get the ATAR needed.

Do you think I would make it at uni? or should I pursue another degree?
