The worst part of engineering for me is the programming part of it. I hate programming, flowcharting, and anything that involves either of the two. Up until now though all the programs we have used to learn how to program or design something have annoyed me. Lab view killed me; I hated the end of last semester! Inventor was better than Lab view, but I think the only reason I think that is because the test was ridiculously easy. Now that we are in Matlab I don’t hate programming as much. I have enjoyed programming more even though engineering gives us really stupid homework. That the instructors make more complicated by and all the different formatting requirements. I want to be an engineer, but I don’t like all this ridiculous work the department has us doing. I think they give us a lot of work that is unnecessary or they give us something to do and have us format it in a way that makes it easier on them, but extremely harder on us. I wont to be out of general engineering and start on the things that are going to be important to our field of engineering. I guess I am just ready for this year to be over with, but I feel that everyone is getting that way.

  1. I'm not in engineering but my roommate is and he complains about programming and all that stuff all the time. I'm so glad its you guys and not me!

  2. I am glad that I'm not as smart as you and chose to do this as my major. I feel the pain though a lot of classes I'm taking have us doing unnecessary work.

  3. You're not alone I have programing too. I hate the hegemony ABET has on the engineering programs at colleges. It is ABET's fault for why we have to take these dumb engineering classes and learn Matlab.
