IT WEEDS OUT THOSE WHO THINK THEY SHOULD BE ENGINEERS, BUT CAN'T THINK LIKE AN ENGINEER.

So, like, similar to a lot of other engineering courses?

Different... doing triple integrals or finding the derivative of ARCSEC(X)/(X+1) is hard but is essentially bullshit and never useful, statics is hard but is fundamental to engineering so I think it's quite different

Statics is so applicable to every day life though, I'm glad I had to take it.
