Exam/ Mid Term Question Engineering
How is Mac when it comes to dates for Exams/ Mid-terms? Knowing that myself as an engineering student has to take 6 courses per term...Do we ever have exams one right after another or worse 2 on the same day?

It all depends, typically after a month into your courses you will have one midterm on a weekly basis. I remember having 3 midterms in one week it is doable just need to plan ahead. I've never heard of two on the same day but sometimes two occur one day after another. They try to space it. Don't worry you will have a few weeks here and there with no midterms.

It really depends of the prof of that particular year. In my own experience, twice a day is rare, but more usually 2 midterms in 2 or 3 days. (Plus, of course, other assignments and report, etc.)

Some of my friends do have a worse midterm timings (like 3 midterms in 2 days + reports). Just avoid deadline cramming study and you should be fine.

Rarely will you get 2 in a day, unless one is a mandatory course and 1 is an elective. Having them back to back is very common, i think ive had exams like that every year.
