B.S. Engineering!?

Apparently, Melanie, Claudine Barretto’s character in the ABS-CBN soap opera Walang Kapalit, is taking B.S. Engineering in college. Not B.S. Civil Engineering, not B.S. Chemical Engineering, not B.S. Electrical Engineering, not B.S. Mechanical Engineering, but the plain yet non-existent B.S. Engineering. How can I tell? She’s studying books on structural engineering, electromagnetics, and software engineering. And all these books are thick, meaning they’re not introductory-level material.
I personally had a hard time in my EEE 23, or Electromagnetic Fields I, back in college. So it’s quite extraordinary that Melanie is taking subjects in civil engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science! 
P.S. I don’t really follow soap operas, but that’s what the people in my household are watching. Hehehe.

Aminin mo na, mahilig ka sa soaps! (muntik pa ko magkamali, “sopas” ung natype ko, haha!)
I used to think that I should have just taken up BS Engineering, but now I realize na mahihirapan lang siguro ako dun, haha

Defensive yung PS ha ha ha.
Nung nasa PLM pa ako, we played a lot with the engineering acronyms, specially on the course abbreviations:
M.E. = Mas Engot/Mega Engot E.E. = Eengot-Engot C.E. = Cute sana kaso Engot Che.E. = Che, Engot S.E. = Super Engot
Those were the days.

uy… may disclaimer sa dulo. hehe
grabe electromagnetics was a very difficult subject! why the hell would i care on the movements of those electrons on atomic level? basta kuryente, un na un! hehe.
i guess i’m not really a full blooded ECE grad kaya i enjoyed the software part of our curriculum more.
but then, nakakamiss nga ung UP EEE.

Hey, it’s true that I don’t follow the soap operas since I usually go home after primetime and I’d rather be in front of my computer rather than the television.

Good observation. It would’ve easily duped people like me who are blissfully unaware of all things ’engineering’. Perhaps the “BS” stands for some other thing than B. Sc. Hehe. What do you think?

You guys are hard core….
But maybe the soap character is just studying the history of engineering?

this is funny. BS Engineering, what the hell? anyway, i’m a ce student pero we take courses on electrical engineering. introductory courses nga lang. maybe claudine is a real smartass para kunin lahat yun. hehe.

Maybe she is taking a special triple degree course, much like Ateneo’s BS Physics and Comp Sci.

EEE23 ang subject na kung saan isang linggo akong nag-aaral ng puyatan bago mag-exam, pero pasang awa pa rin
me software engineering subject din ang BS CoE ah. saka soap opera yun kaya pagbigyan nyo na hehe.
saka eug, in denial ka pa. as youtube mo na lang pinapanood kasi di mo naaabutan hehe. peace
