I have reasons to believe that mechanical engineering is the toughest/hardest branch of engineering.Without disregarding fields like Electrical and civil eng. i still feel that there is an element of toughess embedded in the study of mechanical eng.Pls when i say toughness or hardness i don't mean d material sense.To further butress my point,when I entered year 1,i discovered that courses in nuclear eng,chemical eng,marine eng,Foundry,welding,aeronotics were all rooted from mechanical.in other words,nucl

^^^..nuclear eng.,marine,material,chemical partly and agric engine are all offshoot of mech.eng.In 3rd,4th n final yr,it was all about fluid mechanics,electrical machines and and advance strenght of Materials which is ee and civil.I studied under 9profs @ UNN.Most of them studies n worked abroad.I am well above average n made 2.2,i feel i would have made 2.1 if i studied say electronics,.whats ur take on this?

Wow just got admin 2 study mechanical engineering, i think i can handle it

I think elect engnr is the toughest. I heard people rate engineering courses in order of their 'toughness' this way

1. Elect/elect
2. Mechanical
3. Chemical
4. Civil
5. Others

u have a point there,but based on facts on my write-up.u can't convince me 2 thing otherwise.my take is;
1 mechanical
2 civil
3 EE/software/computer
4 agric
I prefer2 ahead of 3 becos 2 me shear force & bending moment is harder than delta~ star circuit or kirchoff or complex nos used in transformer
