When doing an EE undergrad, the ranking I saw was:
ChemE > EE > MechE > Civil.
I guess there could be a bias, maybe MechE’s would swap their spots and ours. But I don’t think it is a totally universal thing. The fact that ChemE was some impossibly difficult magical alchemy stuff that nobody outside of their program could understand was universally agreed upon though.
I mean, it’s all goofy inter-field teasing and anybody who takes it too seriously is a dummy anyway.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoI would say that civil engineers probably have more on the line, than anyone else. They can kill people, and go to jail, more often, than any of the others (where doing so is more of an exception, and with civil engineers, it's the norm).
- bee_rider 2y agoThat’s probably why they don’t do anything cool. :p
- WorldMaker 2y agoArguably that's part of why that order might be the way that it is: Civil Engineering has existed long enough to have criminal liability and defined jail terms. The others are younger (sometimes far younger) and much less experienced with things like the justice system (and the justice system less experienced with them in turn).
- zexbha 2y agoCurrent EE undergrad (one semester left) and my university doesn't have ChemE so I'm sitting comfortably at the top of the chain :^)
