Engineering Majors Anyone here ever take 20 hours or more in a semester? If so how much did you hate life? Did you work during the semester? Just trying to get a feel for what I'm up against.
Thanks
Thanks

If you're good at math thats not too bad. If math overwhelms you then you're in for some ****.
But if math overwhelms you now is the time to conquer that fear before its too late

Well I used to be good at math but I haven't taken differential calculus since my freshman year and that was almost 6 years ago. I hope it comes back to me lol. Thanks for all the responses!

I know for a fact that physics has a lab I'm not too sure about geology. I've taken up to 24 hours in a semester when I was working on my first degree (biology) but wasn't sure how engineering classes stacked up.

ok first of all 20 hours is a shitload...15 completes a semester... you will have no life and will not be able to do a job. I would say around 16 to 17 would be getting on the heavy side. I am an aerospace engineering major what about yourslef

Good point made about the labs. I HATED labs....they take up a majority of your time writing lab reports.
I worked 35 hours a week and took around 16 hours per semester. My advice would be to keep it around 16 hours and then load up in the summer semester.
