But I'd rather take a math class than one of the liberal arts classes. "Fortran" was my foreign language credit! I was lucky enough to get into "short story" my senor year, it almost offset the horror of "medieval women" junior year. :)

<--- Mechanical too.

I had to take all those classes as well... AND write a thesis for my B.S.

Mechanical for the win.

We refered to the Mfg Eng. program as M.Easy because they didn't have to take any of the harder classes.

oh yeah oh yeah well I minored in philosophy! put that in your Dasein and smoke it.

night classes blow. we had a bio class that was only offered 7-10pm Tues & Thurs. I decided to take it for a grade because pass/fail required getting a C or better. I didn't waste many nights in that class room and left happily with my D.

mechanical myself, probably going to switch to manufacturing though, better/more job oppertunities

at my school, OIT, mech e's take up to calc III (differential, integral, vector)

while manufacturing eng take only I and II

Wow, good for you Matt. I thought about it until the first philosophy class and got my ass handed to me. Oh well.

Who here took the FE exam? Another requirement for graduation :(

Hopefully the people who designed this bridge.

Im taking it soon, and hints?

It's been 5 years since I took it so I don't remember anything relevant. They give you a nice equation booklet that I still use today.

The problems are not as hard as maintaining the desire to complete the test. The last hour or two fatigue sets in and you just don't care much anymore. :) I didn't "study", just sorta reviewed everything the day before.

Make plans for getting drunk after the test; you'll need it after that amount of boredom. And don't finish early...they won't let you out. Also, don't waste your time by studying or reviewing at all.
