Engineering programs are five intense years. PreMed similar. Extreme competition and anybody who can’t compete shouldn’t even dream of becoming engineer or doctor. Takes more than talent.
I've been following this stupid Title IX debate for a while. One of the justifications is that there are nw more women in medical and veterinary programs than men, but not in just as challenging physics and engineering programs. What I hate is the idea that they want to implement "co-operative" learning where teamwork and effort are rewarded above problem solving. They want to do to colleges and univeristies what has been done to highschool education - simplify it so more women can graduate.
