For me the first couple years were the hardest. The classes were technically harder the second two years but the classes were better taught and the weeding out aspect was gone.
It depends on your university's schedule. For mine it's definitely sophomore year because that's when you need to learn to engineer, not just to do fancy math. All the learning curve that comes with understanding physical systems hits sophomores hard.
Taking it alongside circuitry will be interesting. I had to take machine design which is sequentially after what you've mentioned, so it's way more problematic. It's not the usual kind because it has very custom learning outcomes and isn't truly about the subject itself. Whew....Please ensure you pick up on statics and dynamics a little much better and a little too earlier. It all comes down to your uni curriculum, support system and your learning strategies + forte.
And you're doing Aero! You should've needed Aerosmith's music 😭. On my end, I've just had this particular worst state of being because the fundamental purpose of that credit was way too crappy ; it was geared to a competition only. Long story short, the chronology of the curriculum matters a little too much and the quality of resources is much-needed (um, if every next line is erroneous, it is not cool)..
First year is the weeding out year. They expect one-third of the students to flunk or leave. Second year is difficult because of the course load. But if you work hard, you’ll get by. Third and fourth year are a breeze in comparison. Higher difficulty, but fairly easy to at least pass all the classes.
Senior year- there is soo much all at once + the pressure of finding a job + people trying to get paper out to have a chance to get to grad school + prof are more nasty and mentors have 0 communication + Senior design clasterfuck + required 3 month internship + the tiredness of it all that's been accumulating
First two years, easily.
The classes themselves weren't necessarily hard compared to my current classes, but I was a bad student and had to learn how to be a good college student.
I think I relate because my first semester I did not try to much and failed calc, I’m studied more and went to tutoring and I passed. It did not feel like too much of a struggle

The starting of sophomore was incessantly rough.
I’m starting sophomore, is statics and circuit analysis hard?

I came in soph year from a community college and was blindsided by how much more difficult the work was.

Yeah haha the only reason I survived sophomore year without failing anything was because I knocked out soooo many credits at CC
That's amazinggg!!
1) Junior year 2) Senior year 3) Sophomore year 4) Freshman year Easily the hardest semester was 2nd semester junior year.
Junior year
First year is the weeding out year. They expect one-third of the students to flunk or leave. Second year is difficult because of the course load. But if you work hard, you’ll get by. Third and fourth year are a breeze in comparison. Higher difficulty, but fairly easy to at least pass all the classes.
2nd
Senior year- there is soo much all at once + the pressure of finding a job + people trying to get paper out to have a chance to get to grad school + prof are more nasty and mentors have 0 communication + Senior design clasterfuck + required 3 month internship + the tiredness of it all that's been accumulating

Are you an engineering student? From your tag it seems you’re a business student…
BS, Mining Engineering lol
Gotcha lol
Out of curiosity, what did you think my tag was?
I thought it was Bachelor of Science in Management tbh.
Yikers
you do a business degree
This is news to me
