UIUC has been a horror the entire bodyBrightEngineering Department
UIUC has been a horror the entire body of education law is designed to require not ever be possible. I am still via FOIA and otherwise finding stalking, extreme criminal damage incidents mostly created by long distance remote computer UIUC staff stalking with my DOB/SSN/other protected details, rage gender screaming for "make them into inappropriate gender jobs" and violent endangerment currently attempting to impose criminal fantasies from the UIUC on other parts of the US as if we are living as rich housewives and don't feel pain and some form of ugly unethical illegal witch burning including repeating "swearing" involving UIUC staff that my entire degree transcript awards lifetime income etc do not exist and are "gender looney". Waste of time and money that was 99.9% of the costs for pointless wreakage. Staff employees assault for life and stalk. Quit and go somewhere else but do it fast before they get this much information about who you are to keep stalking you with the UIUC computer systems that turn into public internet postings outside when UIUC admin takes them down, and are currently public internet posting any FOIA requests of the school to make the point of shut up or get this out of the UIUC.

Question
As an agricultural engineering student, I can sayBrightEngineering Department
As an agricultural engineering student, I can say that participating in a major that hasn't had a department head in years is probably the most work you can do to pass while learning next to nothing. Ignoring math and physics, which you obviously learn stuff in despite it being difficult, all of my specifically required courses have been extremely challenging without anything being taught. I feel like my major just consists of very challenging busy work. Nearly every engineering course I have taken so far has had lectures with required attendance and no text book, where they teach you uses and history of the technology they discuss, while never teaching you how to do anything. This forces lab TAs to teach everything, but many TAs do not speak English well or necessarily know what is going on. This forces students to use subscription based services like Chegg to give them answers and explanations, and form study groups only to find that no one knows anything about what is going on. Every class relies so heavily on self teaching that you absolutely would learn cheaper, faster, and more thoroughly by taking a 4 year break from life and studying engineering principles in your parents basement. At least then you could learn in your language of preference.
