AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of pursuing an engineering degree in the U.S. while seeking a balance between ease and employer appeal. Participants emphasize that engineering programs are inherently demanding, and the desire for a less rigorous path contradicts the nature of the field. They argue that if someone is genuinely interested in engineering, the workload should not be a deterrent. Suggestions include considering alternative majors if the workload is a concern, as engineering requires a commitment to rigorous projects and assignments. The conversation highlights the importance of dedication in engineering, with a strong sentiment against the idea of pursuing an easier route for the sake of appearance.

In thee US of course, which are easy but look very good to employers? I like engineering alot, and I am not doing it for the money but I don't want to be bummed down by many projects and assignments.

Those are contradictory requirements.
 
An engineering degree at ANY school is going to be difficult and time consuming. If it's what you really want to do then this shouldn't be an issue for you. If it is an issue, choose another path.

Better pick another major then. Not only would I not want a lazy classmate getting the same degree that I worked my arse of for, but I wouldn't want some bum building the bridges my family drives on or the planes that my children will fly on.

If you don't want to be bummed down by projects and assignments then do a L.A. major; otherwise grow set or take a hike.
 
Wait... what? How do you like engineering but you don't want to do engineering projects and assignments?
 
Exactly what kind of engineering do you have in mind?

Obviously you could just google up "top engineering schools" or "top undergraduate engineering schools".
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
