Im interested in majoring in engineering.. but Im not sure what kind I should go for.. are there any engineers out there who can tell me what you majored in and how hard school was.. What would be the hardest and easiest engineering major?

my math skills are a bit weak.. but when i really study what i learn in math i tend to at least pass my classes.. With bad math skills would it be a bad idea to go into engineering?

Civil Engineering is the best to major in. It is the most diverse and the most interesting. I know several mechanical and electrical engineers that are jealous of the neat projects I get assigned and the wide availabilty of jobs.
Engineering school isn't that hard if you put your mind to it! I sought out help when I didn't understand, and ended up graduating with honors.
Go for it girl, you can do it!

I have to disagree with the other engineers and say industrial engineering is probably the easiest out of all of them. I went into IE because unlike other engineering degrees, the concepts apply everywhere, so it is easy to move from job to job, unlike a EE who gets into a small segment of electrical engineering. I would rank them like this:
-Aerospace Engineering
-Chemical Engineering
-Electrical Engineering
-Civil and Mechanical Engineering
-Industrial Engineering
Hope this helps.

Hardest: electrical engineering
Easiest: civil, structural, or environmental engineering
I am an electrical engineer. It is a LOT of applied math -- at a level higher than calculus II. You will learn differential equations, vector calculus, and lots of applications of all of that math.
I personally didn't think it was that hard, but math came very easily, to me.
