I often hear students complaining about how hard Chemical engineering is but after a little research which I carried out, I noticed more students graduating with first class in Chemical engineering than in Civil engineering. Which do you think is tougher

Matured responses only

Mechanical is not even as hard as chemical talk less of civil. The truth is that in civil the calculations are somehow straight forward, u can know wen u arrive at the answer. but chemical, my brother it's too complex. Before anybody quotes me, I have a degree in chemical and mechanical. I will prefer writing mechanical exams compared to chemical. civil na their junior brother.

During my time in uniport, both departments were tough, none had produced a first class in their history.
Haven said that, chemical is definitely more diverse than civil and quiet interesting, and more students enroll in chemical than Civil on the average, so the possibility of attracting the very best is higher in chemical than civil.
The rate at which you may find one more difficult than the other depends on your interest.

But according to my research civil engineering is the oldest and widest

Na wa o. You mean you have B.Eng degrees in both Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering?

Engineering profession is very tough irrespective of its branches. To rate between civil engineering and chemical engineering is just like rating between Ronaldo and Messi; Preference definitely will come to place.

To be sentimental, I am choosing Civil Engineering over Chemical Engineering. Reasons being that:
1. You can hardly get a 1st class in CVE but in CME, it's very normal.

2. Understanding Chemistry n Maths alone could be vital for CME but not in case of CVE because Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Geography , Statistics and even Law might not be enough.

3. CVE is the oldest form of Engineering which makes it an ancient entity with grave n complex problems.

All the same, both courses are great.

only the novice say that.

if you know the right chemical to inhale in the lab, your brain storing capability will be like a super computer

anything you read will magneticFY to your amygdala and hypothalamus region of the brain

Are you crazy?? It's chemical

civil



chemical sef hard diee

my brother just do electrical.

Ironically OP you asked an immature question but demanded a mature answer....Next time ask which is more challenging amongst the two rather than using difficult, your question should depict your open mindedness. Thanks.
.
I'm a graduate of chemical engineering, it is one of the most interesting engineering course you can study or a nightmare if you think it is basically about oil and gas or chemistry. It brodens your mind to designing, operating and maintaning systems that uses chemical reaction in their operations... Chemical engineering needs alot of meticulousNess is knowing process transport phenomena, mass and energy balance and their kinetics. It is very bankable in develop countries, Chemical engineers are among the first three best paid engineers in the US.
.
Civil engineering as well is interesting and challenging...I'm planning on running a master in civil engineering department, then I will come and post an EPISTLE on it just as I had done for Chemical engineering.

chenical engineering hard pass ahswear

nothing is impossible

i don't know but with what i've heard its chemical

The one you don't have interest for and you are not cut-out for is d most difficult.

Shoro niyen

Both
One is more of Chemistry while the other is more of drawing.
Both are mathematic
Both are Physical
Both are nice
Both are etc
AutoCAD etc

its chemical engineering now
Here is a rule of thumb i always use when it has to do with science and judging what is easy and what is not :
The closer you move to atoms or electrons the tougher it becomes
Civil engineering is very far away from atoms and electrons (mostly physical stuff iron rod)
Electrical Engineering is tougher than civil(i did electrical,you are very close to electrons and atoms ,especially dealing with their motion)
Chemical Engineering is toughest among these three (because it actually deals with combination of this atoms and electrons to form something new)
The bottom line is nothing is hard ,you just have to love what u do
If you get a course you dont like ,try to change it to what u love ,if you cant change try to fall in love with it.
As my father would say,nothing is hard or difficult,you just dont know it .

Civil

Chemical...
buh all d departments for engineering hard...

drawing ke?

You can only find out if u study both courses.
Both are very challenging courses to study in Nigeria

except electrical

I have seen lots of 1st class chemical engineering graduates, in fact, i have never come across a 3rd class graduate in chemical engineering.
But, i have seen only one 1st 1st class civil engineering graduate, most of my guys that read civil engineering have 2.2,the most intelligent ones have 2.1.
Logic :i think civil engineering is more difficult.

hmm both in chemical and mecianical ! *coughs*
ISSORITE !

...yes I forgot ...

Civil Eng is the mother of all Engineering

martineverest:
drawing ke?

Civil Engineering na drawing ooooh unless FUTA own dey diff
Not normal drawing like artist ooooh

Well I think it differs based on d university. For Uniben 2:1 in Mech eng is the highest any scholar aimed at. To all the Geologists in the house greetings. We Rock

It's happen but not in Nigeria
Only in advance country
