>>>When I was attending the University of Houston, the Computer Science students would always complain about the Math classes they had to take..."Why do I have to take this?

>>I was about the only Math major/CS minor, so I heard the grumbling from both sides of the aisle, complaining about taking courses outside their major field. Of course, I was one step up, I was able to grumble in *all* my Math/CS courses :)

>Being an EE, I just couldn't see the need to take humnanities, etc. I even looked at Chemistry a little cross-eyed since I wasn't a Chem. Engr. :-)

That was one of the things I liked about ME - a VERY well rounded education. If I had finished as an ME, another 6 hours would have gotten a Math Degree, Physics Degree or EE degree. And it was kinda fun watching the non-ME majors' eyes bug out in a ME physics/mechanics course when we'd start with the appropriate Newton's Law and derive the useful part of it....
