I personally think aerospace engineering is harder to pursue than any other engineering in the world? Do you agree it?

Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around the perceived difficulty of aerospace engineering compared to other engineering disciplines. Participants explore subjective opinions on the challenges associated with aerospace engineering, including factors such as university programs and specific areas of study.
Discussion Character
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- Some participants assert that aerospace engineering is the hardest engineering discipline, while others express uncertainty about this claim, suggesting that difficulty may vary by location and institution.
- One participant mentions an upcoming Dynamics course, implying that personal experience may influence perceptions of difficulty.
- Another participant emphasizes that comparing engineering branches is complex, noting that different fields have unique challenges and areas of expertise.
- An aerospace engineer acknowledges that while their field is challenging, other branches, such as electrical engineering, may have equally difficult aspects.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on whether aerospace engineering is the hardest discipline, with multiple competing views and subjective opinions expressed throughout the discussion.

In the world?. I'm not too sure. Perhaps in USA is the hardest. But maybe in other parts not. It depends on the university you are, and how much hard and long is the program itself and the exams.

Apples and Oranges
Comparing different branches of engineering is like comparing apples and oranges.
Although I am an aerospace engineer, there are other branches that I think have harder areas than aerospace. For instance, electrical engineers know worlds more about communications and transmitters than an aerospace engineer would know. However, an electrical engineer would be hard pressed to solve a CFD problem.
Each branch of engineering is hard in its own right... that's exactly why there are different branches.
