Most difficult majors in engineering/sciences

**At the University of Wisconsin, Chemical Engineering was generally accepted to be the hardest of the bunch. I started out on an engineering track there and I remember being presented bar graphs that showed that ChemE’s took the longest to graduate on average. I believe it took nearly seven years for a former roommate of mine to get his Bachlors in ChemE, but that included some semesters off for internships.

However as a Computer Science major (which is a Letters & Science degrees at Wisconsin, not engineering), I found that the EE/Computer Science double majors seemed to be the biggest gluttons for punishments. **

Things are still pretty much this way. IE’s (Industrial Engineers) are called “Imaginary Engineers.” I’m in Biomedical Engineering, which sounds scary. However, I get the impression that it’s thought to be a relatively wimpy type of engineering.
