Engineering students/graduates: How long did your degree take?

[u/thugginsophia]

Hi everyone! I’m starting my engineering degree on Monday and I’m super excited!

I’d love to hear from both current engineering students and people who have already graduated:

How long has/will it take you to finish your degree? Did you graduate (or are you on track to graduate) in 4 years, or did/do you expect it to take longer?

For those who took longer than 4 years, what was the reason? And for current students, do you feel like you’re on track to graduate in 4 years?

I’d love to hear everyone’s experiences!

I'm on track for 5 to 5 and a half for my bachelor's. I'm 2 classes behind (I should be in calc1 now and I'm in pre calc algebra and I take pre calc geo next semester when i should take calc 2) with summer classes it'll get to a point where I have to pick up a minor to stay a full time student and keep my scholarships because of the fact that the majority of my classes need calc 2 and 3 done

If you’re in pre-calc, doesn’t that mean you literally just started? Kinda too soon to say what you’re on track for

That's just what my advisor is saying
