hmm interesting thx Danny..
well I think in the end of the day, u will have to do some form of programming regardless wat engineering program you're in, why else is programming a compulsory in our first yr right
..i guess the people who do civil,mech, or tron will have the least amount of programming work in their years, which
could explain y so many people would consider it a choice (not as a primary reason though)
@aj-maxx: if u wanted something ez, u should've attended Rye-high...life aint ez..nor is software..then again, it depends on wat u like doing..if ur into physics, u'd love mech..or if ur a *cough* geek *cough*, u'll do software haha lol! (iJoke)
