So all engineering girls are like you? I see.

It's so easy to get caught up in emotion when you read something that offends you either directly or indirectly. So I don't blame you for doing so. What you have to remember is that these are generalizations... I don't think anyone is implying that they are true in all circumstances.

girls in engineering are innately cool.
It's just the way nature is.

p.s. I'm an engineering girl. i ain't an oogly cavewoman (or so i'd like to think).

I'm a girl in engineering, as those before me have said. And I have no idea how the rest of your post is relevant except to maybe brag about yourself (which is a bit ironic considering your criticism of the girls on this forum). Most of the girls I know in engineering are just like that, like me they were involved in high school, they have great friends, boyfriends, etc. They are normal - exceptional in fact.



I am a university student, and I am in engineering. I have taken the physics for engineers course, which is similar to other first year physics courses, but more tailored towards engineers. Engineering physics and math, while difficult, are not that much more difficult than normal physics and math courses, especially in first year.

While there are seperate courses, and I would say the engineering is a bit more difficult, the material covered is often fairly similar. I'm judging this based on what courses in the science stream are given credit for a roughly equivalent engineering course.

1. You're bald? ew.
2. Central Europe? OMG I'M SO JELOUS, I BET YOU'RE OF ARYAN DESCENT AND HAVE A HIGH BRIDGED NOSE.
3. I'm a LifeSci student taking pure math, which is just as hard, if not harder, than your engineering math.

What you don't realize is that the courses that most LifeSci students enter University with, are the same as those who go into engineering.
I could have gone into CompSci, LifeSci or engineering, and many LifeSci students have made the same choice. Just because the average LifeSci student takes less rigorous math/physics doesn't make them 'inferior'.
I'd like to see you pass a chemistry/biology test or psychology or physiology. The list goes on and on.

My point being, you can't compare students taking different programs in terms of intelligence.

P.S. Engineers have to take Chemistry.



Lol, this was funny though.

English may not be your first language, but that does not give you reason to have poor logic. Electives to engs = easy, psychology and/or philosophy = electives to engs; therefore, psychology and/or philosophy = easy?

^ That is assuming that a = b and that b = c, which, in this case, is not true.

Statistical quantum mechanics is a possible elective for engineering students. I highly doubt that it is easy. Therefore, electives to engs are not always easy; therefore, a does not always = b. That makes the logic false because a = b is incorrect. Following tesla's logic, statistical quantum mechanics would have to be easy.

Well, if you start with the assumption that both a=b and b=c are correct, then yeah, a=c, but just because you present an argument of that form doesn't mean the original assumptions are correct.

People usually find their electives easy, I agree. But finding Psych 101 comparatively easy as compared to the 3rd year Engineering courses you're taking at the same time does not mean that you'd find Psych 301 easy, or that Psych is overall an easier degree. People don't often take courses that are known to be "hard" as electives, and they are often taking them behind their year level. And in the case of Engineers and CS people, a lot of them do what they can to avoid taking any more courses with a heavy writing component than necessary, by choosing stuff like symbolic logic (usually under Philosophy) and Economics as their arts electives.

While I wouldn't describe the Arts electives I took in first year as hard, I found intro programming far easier.

A friend of mine in Geology took a 3rd year history class as an elective, after taking some 1st/2nd year ones, and she feels it was the hardest course she took. I don't have any similar experiences, but I never took anything past 2nd year as an elective.

FAQ's:
1. Will I get in? See: electronicinfo.ca for Ontario schools. If you have a couple percent above the marks there and it's not looking at supplementary, the answer is almost certainly yes.
2. Anything else: Google it before asking.
