Are all engineering curriculums the same?

Is the actual work more difficult at a school like Purdue (#8) rather than a lower ranked college such as University of Washington (#25)?

That really depends on the school, some schools require everyone to take the same engineering curriculum regardless of their major and some do not. Contact your school or seek academic advising for more information.

No, they are not exactly the same, but all ABET-accredited engineering programs need to meet certain criteria.





See second and third links to compare and contrast the curricula of Purdue and UW for civil engineering. Go to their web sites to find the curricula for other branches of engineering.





Purdue is known for offering challenging classes and NOT inflating grades, so A's from Purdue are impressive. However, not every employer knows that Purdue does not inflate grades, so they may not realize that a 2.8 GPA from Purdue may be the same as a 3.8 at a less challenging and conservative university

No they are not all the same. the education at Perdue is much better than at UW.



The cost is much higher and the starting salary is usually much better.

No they are not at all same
