Drew’s Answer

Trick question! The answer depends on the person asking and what s/he enjoys doing with her/his unique cognitive architecture. With any choice, the answers are inside the person who needs to decide. We each have our own unique way of engaging and interacting with the world. Good thing is the first couple of years of higher education are similar for most engineering programs and present you with an opportunity to taste the various disciplines. Computer engineering is different from the physical engineering sciences, like civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. Mine is environmental engineering - constructing landfills, managing hazardous waste, abating air pollution. In senior years of engineering, you will even find that the same information is used differently in different disciplines. For example, Laplace transforms can be used to solve equations in fluid mechanics to describe the physical behavior of the first few molecules passing through a pressurized valve or in electrical engineering to describe the behavior of the first electrons that jump the gap of a capacitor. How do you want to use engineering knowledge to solve what types of problems that the world is facing? When you engage your heart in answering the question of where to invest your time and go where it takes you, you will never regret your decisions.
Thank you comment icon Thank you for the advice, Drew. Levi

Austin’s Answer

I agree with Drew about this being a trick question. Every field of science constantly has new discoveries, so the depth of knowledge to be learned will ever grow larger in any field you wish to go into. Different fields may be more difficult for people depending upon their preferences. For example, as someone who went through Computer Science, the majority of my time is spent in front of a computer screen, attempting to code/debug an issue, or even testing my code!
Some people may love this, and others may be entirely opposed to it.
Mechanical engineers will often be up front and operating/designing machinery and may be on the computer for far less time.

Regardless of the field you choose, however, you will always be able to learn something new.

Elliot’s Answer

Try to be more curious about WHAT INTERESTS YOU, than the level of difficulty. There will always be easy and hard parts to whatever you study or get involved with. Given enough time, focus, and (if needed) help/tutoring, you can learn quite a lot. Even real hard stuff! Take the time to explore and try different things and discover what interests you. Take career surveys like Myers-Briggs and other similar career surveys. Read "What Color is Your Parachute" and "Do What You Are" to help find these things out.

Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. I am glad you are interested in Science.
In general, the science subjects are Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It's hard to tell which one is the easiest and which one is most difficult. It depends on your interest and personal strength. E.g. If you are good at Maths, you may find Physics the most easiest. On the other hand, if you likes animals or how our body works, you may find Biology is the easiest.
Also, another consideration is what career you would like to pursue in the future as well. E.g.
if you would like to be an engineer, Physics is always essential to you.
If you would like to be a doctor, Biology is important to you.
If you would like to pharmacist or chemical engineer, Chemistry is your bread & butter.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
