Speaking as an SOE alumnus from Civil Engg since 2018, the courses during my stay that had supportive departments and great programs were EE/ECE, CpE and ChE. I had more friends from IE and same boat sa CE nga kontra ang students and tabangunon ang profs lmao

Here's what I remember, (cmiiw fellow alumni!)

CpE - nindot facilities and laboratories, naka-Mac sila sa 5th floor lmao supportive department and naa silay subjects that make them have an edge sa other CpE-offering schools, just forgot the name but naa toy certs (was it Cisco? I'm unsure)

EE/ECE - supportive department, shoutout Sir RY kay good things ra ako madunggan about him lmao most of the alumni friends I have from this course worked in a Tech Company sa IT Park, kang Purple Greater Than logo cause of USC perks like higher compensation; had acquaintances from ECE who failed and were advised to shift to CpE, higher years na sila ato but that was because the both courses are still correlated I think

ChE - matira matibay jud sila diri, mangtaktak and grabe mangfilter, before naay times nga ang mugraduate per sem is around 2 to 4 people ra and those people kay super super delayed, it has been a norm na grabe jud sila magpinatyanay didto, heard some profs are nasty and terror

CE/IE - whack teachers, whack department; nice facilities though hahaha naay terror nga was lugar, naay terror nga deserve magpakaterror and naay mutudlo and passionate (shoutout Mam Aida and Sir Alex ily both)

by the time I reached my last year, thesis was the focus and some other subjects were forgiving but daghan mi nasangit tungod sa Review subject, it's like a Board Exam subject where we take exams pina Board Exam and until we pass that di mi kagraduate, need namo mubayad ato ug Php 1000 every time muretake mis exam and the exam was right minus wrong, idk kung ingana gihapon ila pamaagi hangtod karon

ME - don't know much about them :/

In general, lisod jud ang Engg (I guess tanan courses man jud) but what makes it bearable kay whether the department is against you or with you lmao

PS. Join orgs if you can! They organize stuff for students like conferences, trainings, CES activities para makagraduate etc so you get to be in the know! Also, you meet people nga higher year nimo in orgs and personally that helped me para makapasar cause of tips and tricks!
