Are engineering students less social than students in other faculties?
It cannot be said generally that engineering students have less social interaction than students in other faculties. Even when laboratories, practical classes, and assignments require substantial time, students may interact through classes, research, clubs, and other activities. The amount and style of social interaction depend on the university and department, year of study, and each student’s personality and choices.
Key points
- The balance of laboratories, practical classes, and assignments varies by department and course.
- Classes, research, clubs, and part-time work can all provide opportunities to meet people.
- Social interaction depends not only on faculty but also on individual choices.
Things to check
- Specific class formats and extracurricular opportunities vary by university and department, so check official information and current-student resources for details.
