Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is the major that I chose when I came here to BYU. There are some great things about it, but there also some really hard things about it. One good thing about it is that BYU does not offer Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical is the best thing to do as undergraduate in case I want to transfer schools to get my masters in Aerospace. I really enjoy Aerospace stuff so that is my main reasons for doing this. The hard things about Mechanical is that it takes a lot of work and is one of the most time consuming majors. Already I spend tons of time in a lab for one of my Mechanical classes. It is graded harshly and the assignments are the most vague and ambiguous things I have ever seen. Hopefully the rest of the classes will not be similar to this one because the vagueness is what makes it take so long. Another hard thing is that I have to get accepted into the program to even start being a Mechanical Engineer. To get in also requires a 3.5 which is really hard to get. I like what Mechanical Engineering is, but I do not like how long it takes.

This post reminds me of why I would never major in mechanical engineering. I don't want to work that hard. Vague assignments are the worst thing for me - I like to know exactly what I need to do. It also isn't as interesting to me as computer science.
ReplyDeleteI almost became a mechanical engineer. The subject fascinated me years ago. That changed and now I do computer science like freshmankid11. Good job for working hard in a tough major!
