Least cognitively demanding STEM discipline (at tier 1 grad schools)？ － Pt. 3
(… with relatively *lower* reqs. on ability to analyze abstract complexity, originate novel insights, resolve counterintuitive subtleties, quickly grasp new fields of knowledge, synthesize different paradigms, etc.) Eliminated in previous rounds: Biology, Chemistry, Financial Engineering
lol HCI is the easiest. honestly it's a joke. CMU HCI / UW HCI / GeorgiaTech HCI etc. Just go to class, enjoy the free-ride during team projects and you'll get a STEM masters degree in a year or two.
I initially thought that's a pretty cool futuristic domain (like strong/general AI) by the sound of it, but then looked at their curriculum, and was sorely disappointed. Is it mostly a branch for "soft"/liberal arts studies?
I mean, if you were looking for the easiest one, HCI is it. But yes I'm from one of the aforementioned programs, it is indeed trash.
Wtf man, how many of these polls you gonna keep putting out
One more, as a grand finale, and that's all ;) It won't be visible to you, however, in Tech Lounge?
