Instead of easy, why not pick a class that will teach you valuable skills that will make you more competitive in the workplace? Do you want an education or do you just want out? It's not like they just give jobs to anyone. 3/20/2007 12:18:24 PM |

i just want out, realistically I wont use my major. I'm trying to take some business classes for real world experience. But instead of cutting up, how about reccomending classes, eh? 3/20/2007 12:23:35 PM |

MAE 301 is easy
but not when taught by Taofong Zeng
Also, MAE 308 with Dr. Ma is the biggest joke of an engineering class I've ever had.

classes != real world experience. May give you a background, but doesn't substitute for it.

Nobody graduating from NC State should have that perception with the amount of resources available to them.
Anyways, there's a Nuclear Engineering class for non-engineering majors at the 400 level. Heard plenty of good things about that ... both as being an enjoyable course, and an easy course.3/20/2007 6:08:05 PM |

Honestly, Perlith I plan on going into sales, where the personal selling and marketing classes could help. I'll have a degree in BME, but I doubt iIll use it, but we'll see how things go. 3/20/2007 6:11:20 PM |

There's another half to engineering nobody ever hears about (nor do they ever teach you in the classroom). You can make the product, but it is worthless if you can't sell it. And salespeople aren't nearly as good if they don't have the background / know / believe in the product they sell. Your BME degree will definitely have some value.
Thought of doing a second degree, or doing graduate coursework to progress towards your goal of doing sales? 3/20/2007 7:56:40 PM |

NE 418 was great. the african-american Nuclear Eng. professor. im embarrassed that ive forgotten his name. he was really cool.
NE 419 was easier, but less interesting. which might have had somethign to do with the prof. 3/21/2007 2:05:29 AM |
