If you ask most people in engineering if they have a life outside of school, they will probably say no. Like I sort of hinted at in a previous post however, International students are known to cheat like fukk in STEM fields sadly. Particularly those from China because in their culture cheating isn't necessarily thought as bad. Any means necessary is fair game. I've heard plenty of stories about these kids having "tutors" in their home country who they simply send their work over to for a fee and they send it back completed. The reason why they do this in the first place is because they often go back to their country after school and all you have to say is you have a degree from the west and you're instant hot shyt unless they're stupid enough to get a job here in the states where their lack of knowledge becomes immediately apparent on the job.
However, outside of that, its well known that if you're studying engineering you probably have a kiss a good part of your social life good bye BECAUSE you will be studying your fukking ass off. I'd be damn if someone told me I "never studied" when going through all those Calcs, physics, and shyt. I pretty much study non-stop from semester start to semester end with occasional breaks here and there. My mom who is a doctor told me I studied more than she did during medical school.
The issue is that you dudes put yourselves down too much and think that this shyt requires some Einstein level smarts. I always tell people that getting through engineering doesn't depend on how smart you are unless you're just a plain retard. It tests endurance more than anything. I bet you if most people in this thread knew the right way to study calc 2 or differential equations and PUT IN THE TIME to do so, you'd have no problem.
Most people quit engineering because they can't keep up with the workload more so than understanding the material. To be honest, to some degree the workload to payoff ratio is not as great compared to becoming a doctor or getting a business degree and working on wall street.
The material isn't that hard if you apply yourself. You just have to realize your study level though. Just because autistic savant jimmy can compute 200 factorial off the top of his head, doesn't mean that the material isn't understandable for more "normal" folks and you might not get the material as fast as autistic jimmy but at the end of the day you're both coming out with the same degree.

Indian students are a tad shady too.
I remember when this Asian kid damn near stalked me because he saw I had a 95 on an exam and he didnt know what to think of it.

Yeah I guess to be fair I should say its an international student problem from what I hear but on the same note, I heard from even TAs and professors (not in person, on the net lol, where they're not going to lose their job saying this shyt) that the biggest offenders are chinese students in particular.
how the fukk do you cheatYou think people actually studied for those classes? Nobody cheats like an engineering student. NOBODY.
Listening to you basic fukks on here you would think that every cac walking owns a business.
everybody cant own or run a business! you blockheads parrot that shyt like its gospel.
there is nothing wrong with going to college and getting a solid degree and earning a good living and providing for your family.
it's impossible
maybe on assignments but that's worth damn near nothing anyway

That's my goal actually (yeah I'm weird and crazy.....fukk off). We actually have the technology to build an "Iron Man" suit:
But a teacher breh
You still had easier options like Accounting, Finance, or Computer Science.
Or if you wanted Healthcare: Nursing
Computer Science is easy?
Some people can be pretty ingenious when it comes to cheating. Clever seating arrangements in lecture halls and the like.
There was a thread on reddit about this a while back.
http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2efpbg/teachers_or_professors_of_reddit_what_is_the_most/
In one of my classes, a group of students weren't very smart about it and would talk out loud in their own language to each other and the teacher had to tell them several times during the test no speaking.
:sleep:
nothing's really effective unless it's some memorization class
and why would you be in some memorization class
Nothing is impossible. The best method depends on the circumstance. Ex. seating arrangement works well for some classrooms, others not so much.
If you have to move papers around or interact with others someone's gonna rat you out
If you're just hiding notes somewhere that's not gonna help much anyway for any real class

Did people cheat in college? yes, some of the hispanic students I went to school with were notorious cheaters. Those dudes use to have stack of previous exams(nothing wrong with that in my opinion, its good to practice and study from those). You will get lucky and a professor would put one question on there that is fundamentally the same but I know people who would put the book and solutions pdf on their Iphone etc. Some use to pass out answers during exams lol. Even then, you still had to study lots of hours. I graduated with a 3.15 gpa despite being a naturally lazy but I did put in the hours and late nights(leave at 3 to 4 am) in order to get decent grades.
In my engineering field, I have not worked as hard. Half of the time, I am in my cube just dking around. A lot of the older engineers now even come to me for help. I am now going to study hard as hell for the next 12 months so I can get into Data Science. Its all about dedication and hard work to show you have the credentials. Once you get the position, they will show you your role. Its more efficient if every one knows their role. If every one was doing brand new ish, it would not be efficient at all.
