Why CSTians say Engineering is Difficult

Currently CST limits engineers to the traditional or 'normal' types of engineers. Most people would agree on what an engineer does in general: in the main, he or she studies and designs bridges, airfields, ports and other structures (civil engineers); aircraft, machines, turbines, autos etc (aircraft, mechanical, and automotive engineers); and power stations, pylons, integrated circuit boards, and computers (electrical, electronics, and computer engineers). Of course there are also engineers who study and design water treatment plants, distillation refineries for petrochemicals, etc. (chemical and petroleum engineers); enzyme vats and wineries and pharmaceutical factories (biochemical and biomedical engineers); and satellite and telecommunication systems (telecommunications engineers).

Whether we should or should not study engineering or any relevant courses at university depends very much on certain factors, which we, the future matriculating students, should weigh before coming to an informed decision, which CST students lack; moreover, almost all students under RUB lack this knowledge of what the course is about and where it will take you afterward. Here, since I am an engineering student, I focus on why most of the CSTians say engineering is severe for them.

While in school and while choosing what to study at the university, it solely depends on how much you have scored. Almost all students never know actually what engineering is when they join the college. Almost all are pretty sure that engineering is a highly paid and demanding job in the market.

After joining here in CST and studying engineering as major, I realized that one should know beforehand what engineering actually is. Scoring in the high school to 80s and 90s were nothing. That’s why students get frustrated when they see their marks scribbled in 50s and 60s.

Actually we should have real ability for math. It is not necessary to be a math genius to take up engineering. But we should have good scoring in math in high school. If not, we wouldn’t be selected since everything is on a merit basis. Putting in hard work in math and scoring high can’t justify. We should have logic to study math.

 Yes, you might have done well in your pre-university or high school subjects, but at the university you will have to deal with much more difficult subjects like thermodynamics, soil mechanics, Engineering Math (advanced calculus, vector analysis, complex algebra, differential equations, among others) and a host of engineering-related courses. That said, and all students, do not let these perceived difficulties stop you from pursuing the program. Because they persevere in their studies and maintain their discipline, they are able to sail through. And remembering scoring in high school can’t be an excuse.

Another thing to determine is if we should be committed...  Running at the last moment wouldn't help much. When Saturday night rolls around and all friends are headed out to party on college night, there is a strong possibility that if you are committed, you will be stuck in the computer lab with your classmates studying. This is not to say you won't have fun, but sometimes school will just have to take priority of the college lifestyle. 

If you are reading this and thinking, "Hey, no sweat," then engineering may be the route for you, and then you will just have to figure out which concentration you think you will enjoy the most. If you feel a little hung up on the math or the possibility of missing that awesome party, then maybe you should just stick to being a business major.
