Ranking Engineering Courses from Easiest to Hardest

Video Description
Engineering is known to be hard…but which courses are the hardest? Watch this video to find out! I’ll be comparing the courses using a tier list to better demonstrate the relative difficulty. Timestamps are as follows:

ABOUT ME:
My name is Tamer Shaheen and I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo. I like to make videos about university/college, engineering, and personal development. Thank you so much for watching!!

Got a C in Physics one. The concepts weren’t hard but you’re right the test questions are so ridiculously more difficult than they need to be

[Dark_light]

I think the difficulty of the course has a lot to do with the professor you take. Some professors seem to enjoy making the exams brutally difficult and taking off points for everything, while the same course with a more lenient professor will earn you a whole letter grade better.

[lapetitefleur]

I'm struggling in physics even though I took it in high school so the fact you ranked it a D and still got that degree makes me feel a bit better-

[marzaronnii]

I am going back to school after 5 years and studying because I am pursuing engineering. you and your videos are a blessing. I have watched your videos almost daily for information that has since helped me so much. thank you

[EngineeringGoneWild]

Love this video topic and the ranking system you came up with Tamer. I couldn't agree more that how hard a course is largely depends on the professor 😅

As someone with a masters degree in mechanical engineering, I would say the electronics and electrical engineering modules I did were the hardest

[Rudenbehr]

This is probably one of your best videos. You encouraged me to take the plunge and become an engineer after working for 2 years.

[mehanikal]

Come on dude, F for Dynamics, we are mechanical engineers because of it. That seperates us from civil engineers...

[infinteuniverse]

I was a computer engineering major: analog circuits, signals and systems, digital communicatuon, operating systems and computer architecture were the hardest for me.

This video should really be renamed "Ranking MECHANICAL Engineering Courses from Easiest to Hardest", because calc 2 and 3 are exceptionally useful in high level engineering fields like Electrical engineering, where monitoring electromagnetic waves requires an enormous amount of calculus skill. Also its useful in structural engineering as you can model say how fast a room fills with gas. Chem 1 while it may be trivial, is the start for any chemical engineer. Calculus 2 is powerful for computer programmers as the Taylor and Maclauren series are how computers calculate certain values, or programming a physics engine for a video game.

It's really strange how my overall experience matches yours😂😂! although I studied for my bachelors in Saudi Arabia, so it seems to me that engineering is taught similarly around the world.

[von]

Just beginning my journey in obtaining an engineering degree and your videos are extraordinarily insightful. Great videos.

[albertogarcien]

Dynamics IS Mechanical Engineering. We solve problems through movement, and we take care about everything that produces, transmits and overgoes movement. It is one of the hardest courses but if you learn it right, you are on your way of being awesome :=) And I agree SO MUCH on Design; it is THE single hardest thing I ever did in university, that course alone is worth a whole semester of other classes and you don't really learn much more than just what your teacher complains about you doing wrong over and over and it made me feel miserable.

[Ahmed-bbyp]

I'm so happy you're back tamer !

[tchyard]

Brave of you to assume I took calculus and physics in high school 😂😂

[MrMikahT]

Im going through thermodynamics a second time. I did a little better at understanding except they made the first exam extremely difficult compared to last semester which was really upsetting

[roboserpent]

It would be interesting if you did a video on your electives. I would like to know what the courses cover and the difficulty.

[martinliza]

I think this really depends on what you do after graduation. I do CFD and I have actually been asked in interviews about divergence, curls, cross products, and dot products. I have never been asked a design question ever lol. Hence, for me, all the design courses are useless but all the more mathematical intensive and theoretical courses tend to be the more useful ones.

[roger_is_red]

So quantum mechanics to me was a killer. I am a retired EE.

Current 1A mechanical Engineer, Currently Phys 115 is very difficult, math 115 is also really difficult to be honest. Having fun in math 116 tho
