Which is harder Medicine or Engineering

[hotbeezie]

It's relative to your strengths...I'm a Medical Laboratory Scientist, I was good at Science and was just ok at Math...my homeboy was an engineer who was good at math but just ok with the science.

I should've went back to be a Physican Assistant

One thing's for sure...you not going broke

 

[GSR]

dont you have to go to college for 8 years for a medical degree? engineering is only 4 years.

sounds like that answers the question right here.

Discrete Math, Linear Algebra, Databases, and Music composition killed me in sophomore year.

I was a Comp Sci. Major and majored in music, so I think the theoretical side of music theory really helped with math proofs and logic imho...

That being said, the Nursing boards are straight

I do remember my Database Engineering course and the professor had everyone shook af....

The first exam was 90 questions, multiple choice and fill in the blank....

Needless to say, the highest score was a 40 and we were all dedicated comp sci majors that were programming since High School and got smoked in one of our major core classes....

We had to study that class like a religion to pass.

I'm a nurse and it was pretty hard.

Do engineers need to pass classes with at least 75%?

Anything less is a fail for us.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

As an Engineering Grad id say Medicine and your starting salaries prove it

 

[Shorty K]

Medicine is only harder because in Engineering you can be a C+ student and still secure a 70,000+ salary.

On the medicine side of the game you pretty much assed out if you aren't a 3.5 student

you can also go for your doctorate in engineering too

a 75% grade avg is like 2.5 gpa i manage to scrape by with a 2.7 which is an 80%

Our classes can be too hard and rigorous for that. There are some classes i took in undergrad where a 60% was an A. When you're writing abstract proofs for the first and having them evaluated by people who've been doing it for 20+ years you're pretty much gonna have to fail 95% of the class if you don't curve it.

Doesn't sound so bad but when u have test with only 20 questions that 75% is hard

I'll go engineering, That side of STEM tends to have more of the roughest of professors. I see a lot of engineer student suffer due to their professors, not so much the topic at hand.

20 question engineering exam is actually demonic (i've had 100 question exam took me 4 hrs to finish i could have passed too but i took another exam the same day no thanks to my lousy ass school)

7 questions max - 8 questions max

we don't do muttiple choice only problem solving

Breh I welcome more questions.

Pharmacology we had 20 question test with select all that apply questions, u have NO room for error.

Med surgery we had 50 question test and that helped a lot.

I'm just going to talk about the nursing program not the degree I needed to get in the program.

The program is 2 years five days a week, twice a week your at medical faculty 8 hours- basically working and learning. The other three days u are in class being tested every time you step in.

Engineering is probably harder though, idk much about it.

 

[Serious]

overall difficulty

organic chem,biochem,cell bio..........


A lot of engineers I knew in undergraduate, struggled with chem101 like you wouldn't believe
Difficulty is relative....
