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.
