Can you be a good engineer and at the same time abe a human?

In summary: There are plenty of opportunities to get your engineering education without sitting in a lecture hall all day long.

While I'm not an engineer, my roommate is. He only does a couple hours a week of actual studying, studying as in reading or reviewing notes for classes. However, that's mostly because in practical (real) majors like engineering and physics, study time is mostly the same as homework time.
I will also say that for engineering, "study time" doesn't have to be actual studying. Hands on experiences in many college activities provides engineering experience and gives you an opportunity to learn useful things outside of a classroom. For example, engineers at the University of Oklahoma compete in several things. One team builds an off-road vehicle and goes to national competition (http://students.sae.org/competitions/bajasae/about.htm). There are lots of other competitions as well- Design-Build-Fly is another awesome one.

In short, don't let "hours spent studying" be a deciding factor in picking a major.



Sounds awesome, give you a time for starting a revolution in a country? starting by the nation university.

Hey i am really into this:

Can a engineer be a revolutionary politician(not a joke and lier politic a honest one) . I live in El Salvador a 3rd world country, one of the most violent in the world and one of the most vulnerable for the climatic change, foreign companies have come to my country and take it all, we have a free trade with USA and the right wing buys death squads to aterrorize the population.
